The session aims to showcase new work that supports the mission of the SSEMWG, which seeks to foster inclusive, creative scholarship on women and gender across the early modern world. Since the session seeks to provide a forum for interdisciplinary conversation, we encourage proposals from early career scholars working in a range of disciplines and national or global contexts.

 Scholars who hold the rank of ABD or equivalent, or who hold a doctoral degree earned no later than five years after the submission deadline, are eligible to submit proposals. 

An institutional affiliation is not required, but those accepted for the session will need to become members of the Sixteenth Century Society, if they are not already. Session participants are also encouraged to join or renew their SSEMWG memberships. For more information, please visit the SSEMWG website: https://ssemwg.org/ and the SCS conference website:  https://www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference

 Please submit an abstract of 250 words (single paper submissions are acceptable) and a brief bio to Kate Driscoll (kate.driscoll@duke.edu), SSEMWG liaison for the SCS. *Deadline Monday, April 28, 2025*

Questions can be directed to Amy Froide (froide@umbc.edu), Vice President, SSEMWG
