What is NAVSA?

The North American Victorian Studies Association (NAVSA) brings together scholars from across disciplines who share a passion for the literature, culture, and history of the Victorian period. Since 2002, we've worked to foster conversation, collaboration, and community among Victorianists throughout North America and beyond.

Our annual conference serves as a vibrant forum for new ideas and interdisciplinary exchange, welcoming editors, researchers, and students alike. We also support projects that expand access to Victorian texts and strengthen connections across regional and national borders.

Whether you’re just beginning your exploration in Victorian studies or are a longtime member of the field, we invite you to join us.
