The Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (SCSC) is now accepting proposals for individual papers and complete panels for its 2013 annual conference, to be held October 24-27, 2013 at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 1508, Ponce de Leon established the original settlement that would, in 1521, become the city of San Juan. It is the oldest city in United States territory. Old San Juan is a designated World Heritage Site. The SCSC actively encourages the participation of international scholars as well as the integration of younger colleagues into the academic community. We also welcome proposals for roundtables sponsored by scholarly societies that are affiliated with the SCSC.

The deadline for proposals is March 15, 2013. Approximately four weeks after the submission deadline, the Program Committee will notify all those who submitted proposals of its decision.

You will find instructions on how to make a Paper Submission at the end of this message. Abstracts (up to 250 words in length) for papers and/or complete panels may be submitted at: http://www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference/
