Americanists Abroad: Current Research in the United Kingdom and Europe

Saturday 16 April 2011
10.00 – 17.10, (with registration from 9.30am)
Research Forum, The Courtauld Institute of Art

American art history is in the process of internationalizing. The past decade has witnessed a burgeoning of American art exhibitions, centres of study, and scholars abroad, as well as a rise in transnational topics of study. This conference is designed to draw together a group of historians of American art working in the United Kingdom and Europe to share and debate their most current research. Topics range from the 19th century to the 1960s and cover domestic issues as well as Atlantic, Pacific, and Latin American networks. Questions of what is at stake in the internationalization of the field will emerge.
