The Boston University graduate students have organized one of the
longest running symposia expressly for the work of young, emerging
scholars. The event takes place each spring, and is cosponsored and
hosted by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Our Call for Papers, held
annually in the fall, aims to attract interdisciplinary participation.
We seek to provide a forum for all scholars still in graduate school
with topics and interests related to visual culture, including art
history, film and media studies, cultural studies, anthropology, and
all related fields.
