We invite proposals on any aspect of American Art that relate to the symposium's theme of the Academy, Museums, and the Market. Proposed papers should be 20-minute, formal papers on any period of American art, in any media, from 1600 to the present day.

We are also inviting proposals, from current graduate students at the dissertation stage, for a Graduate Student Lightning Round Session at the conference. Proposed papers for this session should be a 5-minute synopsis of the larger research project.

In the subject line of your email, please distinguish whether you are applying for inclusion in the general symposium (20-minute paper) or in the Graduate Student Lightning Round Session (5-minute paper). Please only apply to one type of session.

Please send your proposal and a short cv by December 1, 2011 to both David Dearinger and Melissa Renn, AHAA Symposium co-chairs at dearingerbostonathenaeum.org and melissa_rennharvard.edu.

Thank you,

David Dearinger, Boston Athenaeum
