American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
Session Proposals for the 55^th Annual Meeting
Online, March 28-29 and April 4-5, 2025

The American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) is pleased to announce our Call for Papers for the 55th Annual Meeting, to be held virtually over two weekends: March 28-29 and April 4-5, 2025. The Society, established in 1969, is the foremost learned society in the United States for the study of all aspects of the period from the later seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. 

Round 1 (Session Proposals from Caucuses and Affiliate Societies) is now open for submissions to panels, roundtables, and special sessions. 

• Affiliate Societies may submit 1 session.
• Caucuses may submit 2 sessions.
• The person submitting the session is the chair; chairs may not present on their own sessions. 
• Informational session for Round 1: Thursday, May 23, 2024, 8amPT/9amMT/10amCT/11amET. Registration is required.

We are transitioning to a new submissions platform that will integrate with the Virtual Meeting platform, hosted by our partners at Stova (formerly Aventri). The Caucus and Affiliate Society Guaranteed sessions will be collected via a Google form (like last year); all other submissions will be collected and organized via the new platform. 

ASECS is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming conference environment in which all members participate fully in the exchange of knowledge and ideas. The society welcomes scholars pursuing all aspects of eighteenth-century studies and in all careers and career stages: in graduate studies; in tenured, tenure track, or non-tenure track academic positions; in part-time or temporary positions in the academy; and colleagues in contexts beyond the academy including libraries, museums, publishing, and teaching, as well as independent scholars. Please join us whether you are a long-time member, or new to ASECS!
