We're back! The twenty-third biennial New College Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Studies will take place 5–7 March 2026 in Sarasota, Florida. Registration for the conference will open in early January 2026.
In the meanwhile, we are delighted to announce our 2026 plenary speakers:
Professor Tracey Hill of Bath Spa University (UK) is a historian of civic culture and literature in England (especially London) in the 16th and 17th centuries;
Professor Maureen Miller of the University of California, Berkeley, is a historian of Italy and the church in the central Middle Ages.
The New College Conference on Medieval & Renaissance Studies is a biennial event covering all aspects of the European, Mediterreanean, and Near Eastern worlds from approximately 400 CE to 1700 CE. The Conference is usually held the second weekend of March in even years on the historic bayfront campus of New College of Florida, the honors liberal arts college of Florida's State University System.
The twenty-second Conference was held 3–5 March 2022, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Dante Society of America. Mary Floyd-Wilson (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Jonathan Phillips (Royal Holloway, London), and Lorna Goodison (University of Michigan) were plenarists. No conference was held in 2024.
The New College Conference was founded in 1978 by Lee Snyder, Professor of Medieval & Renaissance History at New College. For more on the history of the conference and past speakers, click here.
