Jane Austen Summer Program
designed for Austen readers, fans, & scholars
JASP is a four-day symposium exploring Jane Austen through lectures, workshops, small-group discussions and other activities, including a Regency Ball. Each year we focus on one of Austen’s works. Join us June 10–13, 2027, at historic Seton Hill University in Greensburg, PA, as we take up Mansfield Park under the theme "Virtue & Vice." Alongside lectures and lively discussion, this year's program features an Austen-themed Evensong in Seton Hill's St. Joseph Chapel, the return of the Regency Ball, and excursions that connect Austen's world to the historic sites of western Pennsylvania.
The Jane Austen Summer Program (JASP) is designed to appeal to anyone with a passion for all things Austen. Attendees include people from all walks of life, as well as established scholars, high school teachers, and students from middle school through graduate school.
Registration for JASP 2027, Mansfield Park: Virtue & Vice, will open in the coming months.
