Society of Reformation Research: Sponsored Papers & Panels for the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference, 27-30 October 2022

The Society for Reformation Research is now accepting proposals for SRR-sponsored sessions at the 2021 annual meeting of the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference (SCSC), to be held 27-30 October 2022, at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis Hotel in Minneapolis, MN.

The SRR invites individual papers and complete sessions (panels, roundtables, or workshops) on any theme related to Reformation research. We are interested in sponsoring submissions or a series of submissions on topics related to the Protestant and Catholic Reformations and all other aspects of religious life and theology in the early modern era. In line with our mission to support instruction of Reformation history and Reformation themes in other courses, we also solicit papers with a primary focus on teaching. For the 2022 meeting, the SRR is sponsoring a series of panels with the theme of “Crisis and Emotion” and so especially welcomes panels that would be appropriate.

Papers should not have been previously published or presented at a scholarly meeting. All presenters must register for the conference if accepted.

If you would like to submit a paper, panel, workshop or roundtable for sponsorship by the SRR or need additional information, please contact the SRR program chair: David M. Luebke (dluebke@uoregon.edu). The deadline for submission (via e-mail) of paper and session proposals to the SRR program chair is 1 April 2022.

• Paper Title
