Events
Through biennial world congresses, international symposia, regional events, and online programming, the Society brings together a community of scholars, students, and other persons who study or teach the long nineteenth century. Our congresses and symposia rotate by continent and region to help ensure that scholars from around the world have an opportunity to participate in our events in person. Rotation also allows us to highlight global nineteenth-century studies scholarship in every region. Whenever possible, the SGNCS will continue to offer virtual access to attendees.
