We are no longer accepting submissions for the 2013 conference in Puerto Rico.


The 2013 Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (SCSC) will be held October 24-27, 2013 at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Program Committee is currently working on the program. Approximately four weeks after the submission deadline, the Program Committee will notify all those who submitted proposals of its decision.

The SCSC, a not-for-profit scholarly organization, receives no governmental or institutional funding. In order to participate in this conference, delegates or their sponsoring institution/organization will need to fund their own travel and lodging expenses in addition to a $170 per delegate registration fee ($100 student fee). The registration fee is used to pay for conference facilities and general events. By paying the fee, delegates become members in the SCSC and receive the Sixteenth Century Journal.
