Student Summer Symposium

Oxford Brookes University
and the Ashmolean Museum

Plenary Lecture: Absent Bodies by Dr Oliver Watson
Keeper of the Eastern Art Department
Ashmolean Museum

Questions of the body, and of embodiment, permeate the theory and practice
of art. The history of art, too, has been informed and affected by the
discourse of the body. The AAH Student Summer Symposium will address a
wide range of topics that relate to the body in art, as subject, object
and spectator.

Booking deadline: 11 June 2008

The weekend includes a drinks reception at the Ashmolean on the Saturday
evening, and a workshop on “Finding a job with your PhD” after lunch on
Sunday.
