Faulkner Studies Conference 2026 took place October 22–24.

Faulkner Studies Conference 2026 was held at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

It is most useful for literary scholars and graduate students working on Faulkner, since the program paired a keynote by Eric Gary Anderson of George Mason University with a tour of the L.D. Brodsky Collection of Faulkner materials, and selected papers may be published.

Academic literary conferences usually see business casual dress, with somewhat smarter clothes for the opening banquet dinner and the art reception.
