Deadline for submission: Sunday, 24 September 2023
Decision notifications: Monday, 8 October 2023

The Renaissance Society of America’s Graduate Student Advisory Committee is pleased to announce that our Online Graduate Student Lightning Talk Series will continue in 2023. The first session will be held on Thursday, November 2.

The theme of the upcoming Lightning Talk Series is “The Sexual Renaissance(s).” We invite participants, from various disciplinary backgrounds, to think about the nature, meaning, place, and development of Renaissance sexuality. Specifically, what constituted sexuality in the Renaissance(s) and how was it institutionalized and understood across time and space?

Abstracts of 150 words are due by Sunday, September 24. Please submit your name, email address, affiliation, proposed title, and short abstract below. Participants will be notified by Monday, October 8.

Lightning talks are concise oral presentations of five minutes, which may or may not include visual aids. Presentations could be based on:
  • An argument from your work (BA/MA thesis, PhD dissertation, or article)
  • Initial findings from side projects, or work in progress
  • Archival findings
  • Pedagogical questions
  • Field/experience-based observations, and/or
  • Any archive-related topic that might stimulate discussion.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
