We will celebrate the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth in 1775. Our transatlantic celebration will take place June 19-22, 2025 in historic New Bern, NC.
In line with our theme "Sensibility and Domesticity," we will explore topics including medicine, birth, and domestic arts in Regency England and colonial North Carolina. Join us as we focus on Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility—considering the birth of her career as a published writer as well as taking a transatlantic look at the world into which she was born.
