Conference Registration and Society Membership
All conference participants must also be members of the Sixteenth Century Society. To join the Society, click here. Membership includes a one-year subscription to The Sixteenth Century Journal.
The Sixteenth Century Society is a not-for-profit scholarly organization that receives no governmental or institutional funding. Thus, participants or their sponsoring institutions or organizations will need to fund travel and lodging expenses in addition to the conference registration fee.
