The Renaissance Society of America warmly invites submissions for its 67th Annual Meeting, to be held in Dublin, Ireland on 7–10 April 2021. The Convention Centre Dublin will serve as the site of our conference headquarters, with sessions also held at premier cultural and scholarly institutions such as the Chester Beatty, Marsh's Library, and the Royal Irish Academy. We are delighted to announce that the Dublin conference has been expanded to four days instead of three, to accommodate more presenters and allow plenty of time for special events and visits to the city's museums and archives. Rooms at a selection of hotels will be available. The deadline for conference registration is 31 December 2020.
No matter what transpires over the next several months, the RSA will hold its Annual Meeting in 2021—either in Dublin or virtually. Our Society's board of directors and staff will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and related events, maintaining close contact with our collaborators in Ireland. If circumstances render it unsafe or impossible for a large group to meet in Dublin next spring, we will cancel the meeting no later than 1 February 2021 and convert it into a virtual conference. This virtual meeting would not be compressed into the exact same four days, so as to accommodate people located in different time zones.
Submission Rollover from RSA Philadelphia 2020
All submissions that were accepted to the program for the cancelled RSA Philadelphia 2020 meeting are eligible for rollover to RSA Dublin 2021. For more information and to request a rollover, see this page.

Do not hesitate to get in touch with Toby Osborne should you need any advice on panels.
Because of the financial situation faced by the university as a result of the pandemic, it is unlikely that IMEMS will be able to offer financial support for panels for this year.
Please note that the RSA deadline for the Call for Papers is 15 August 2020, though proposals must be sent to IMEMS no later than Thursday 13 August.
