Andrew Ladis Trecento Conference

In the spirit of the tradition forged by the late Andrew Ladis and his colleagues at the University of Georgia, an international congress of Trecento specialists will congregate at the Museum of Fine Arts & the University of Houston to share their research formally and informally in Houston, TX from 8-10 November 2018.

This call for papers invites scholars of all ages and stages to submit proposals for 20-minute discussions of specific art historical problems, issues, and ideas that focus on the arts of Italy during “the long fourteenth century” (late Dugento through early Quattrocento). MA students must provide a letter of support from a professor with whom they have taken a graduate level course.

The papers delivered at the Conference will be published by Brepols, in a new series series called the Trecento Forum.

Please submit paper proposal (500-word limit), and a CV by February 16 to: LadisTrecentoConferencegmail.com.
The planning committee will review all proposals and respond no later than April 15.

The keynote speaker at the Houston conference will be Dr. Caroline Campbell, The Jacob Rothschild Head of the Curatorial Department and Curator of Italian Paintings before 1500 at the National Gallery of Art, London.

We have not yet heard about all our funding requests, but we hope that we will be able to hold the conference without charging participants fees.

Participants will be responsible for securing their own transportation and lodgings.

A special rate has been arranged for conference participants in a Hilton Hotel near the MFAH. Further details as well as other lodging options, will be posted soon on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/LadisTrecentoConference/).

Conference registration will be on Eventbrite beginning May 1.
