Thank you for your submissions to our 68th Annual Meeting, to be held in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday, 30 March 2022 through Saturday, 2 April 2022. We received approximately 2,050 paper submissions, including more than 600 session proposals. Acceptance notifications will be sent via email on 1 November 2021.

We understand that travel to Dublin will not be possible for everyone and that is why a special RSA virtual event has been scheduled for early December 2022. This event will have a broad theme and will feature session formats that are especially successful online, such as workshops, lightning rounds, and seminars with pre-circulated materials.
Nearly 500 conference attendees responded to the post-meeting survey that was distributed shortly after the conclusion of RSA Virtual 2021. Please click here to view the results of that survey.
We are delighted to announce that the RSA is now connecting Renaissance studies guest speakers to your classrooms. Made possible by the generosity of our members, we have a list of scholars who have volunteered to speak virtually in the classrooms of RSA members. Please take a look at the subject areas covered and contact the office to schedule a guest speaker.
Nominations are now open for the 2022 Paul Oskar Kristeller Lifetime Achievement Award. This award honors a lifetime of uncompromising devotion to the highest standard of scholarship accompanied by exceptional achievement in Renaissance studies. Nominations are due by 30 September 2021.
There are two new titles, just out, in our Brill series: A Companion to Pietro Aretino and A Companion to François Rabelais. A third title is forthcoming in October: A Companion to Cosimo de' Medici. RSA members receive a 35 percent discount on titles in the RSA-Brill Renaissance Text Series.
