T. S. Eliot International Summer School
The T. S. Eliot International Summer school brings together students and renowned scholars from around the world for a nine-day, immersive exploration of the life and work of Nobel Prize winning poet, critic, and dramatist T. S. Eliot. The dates for the 2025 Summer School are 5-13 July, and it will be held at Merton College. The 2025 Eliot Society conference will be held in Dublin from 2-5 July, so it will be possible to attend both gatherings!
Information about the 2024 Summer School is available at this link.
