Now accepting proposals for 2022!

Are you ready for an in-person conference with handshakes, hugs, laughter, and stimulating conversation? 

The Annual Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies provides a convenient summer venue in North America for scholars in all disciplines to present papers, organize sessions, participate in roundtables, and engage in interdisciplinary discussion. The goal of the symposium is to promote serious scholarly investigation on all topics and in all disciplines of the medieval and early modern world.

At the Symposium

The Symposium is held on the beautiful midtown campus of Saint Louis University, hosted by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. On-campus housing options include affordable, air-conditioned dormitory rooms and a luxurious boutique hotel. Being in the middle of a large, vibrant city such as St. Louis means that there's plenty to see and do in your down-time, and plenty of great places to eat! See the menu above for more information on all that St. Louis has to offer.

The plenary speakers for this year will be David Abulafia, of Cambridge University, and Barbara Rosenwein, of Loyola University, Chicago.
