Conferences and Events
You’ll find all the Eliot-related Calls for Papers here, with the most recent at the top of the page. If you know of any relevant conferences that we don’t have posted, please send them to tseliotsociety@gmail.com.
Our annual meeting is held on the weekend closest to Eliot’s September 26th birthday—often, but by no means always, in St. Louis, the city of his birth. Among other activities, the meeting features the T. S. Eliot Memorial Lecture, given by an eminent scholar or poet. The Fathman Award is given at the meeting for the best paper presented by an emerging scholar, and the T. S. Eliot Studies Annual Prize is awarded to the best seminar paper written by an emerging scholar.
The 45th Annual Meeting of the International T. S. Eliot Society was held in St. Louis, Missouri, from 20-22 September 2024. The Conference Program is here. Further information about the Conference may be found on this page.
Program from the 2022 Annual Meeting
The 43rd Annual Meeting of the International T. S. Eliot Society took place from September 23-25, 2022, in St. Louis, Missouri. It featured seminars, panels, a film showing, and a plenary lecture titled “The People of 1922,” given by Douglas Mao, Russ Family Professor in the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University.
Each year the Eliot Society holds a ten-day, International Summer School, whose website may be found here.
Eliot panels are also a regular feature of other academic conferences, and we post CFPs and assemble panels for conferences from the MLA, SAMLA, the ALA, The Louisville Conference.
These Annual Conferences, as well as non-repeating Conference CFPs may be found on our CFP page
