CALL FOR PAPERS

Seventh Annual American Art History Symposium, Yale University
Saturday, April 10, 2010

Keynote Address:
Michael Gaudio, Associate Professor, Department of Art History, University
of Minnesota

The Department of the History of Art at Yale University announces its
seventh annual American Art History Symposium. The organizers seek
proposals from graduate students whose work exemplifies creative modes of
inquiry and breaks with established critical approaches to the study of
American art. We welcome submissions addressing any medium or period.

Abstracts of approximately 500 words for papers not to exceed 20 minutes
in length should be received, along with a CV, by Monday, February 22 for
consideration. Selected speakers will be notified by Monday, March 1.

In an effort to encourage dialogue among the participants and initiate
focused discussion, we will ask selected speakers to submit in advance
extended abstracts with images. We hope that our discussions might take
the form of a workshop for ideas on the current state of the field and
possible new directions in the study of American art.

Please e-mail materials to americanist.symposiumgmail.com.
For further inquiries, please contact Elizabeth Athens at
