Constructing the Discipline:
Art History in the UK

The third annual Glasgow Colloquium on Art Historiography will be
held in the Institute for Art History of the University of Glasgow
25th – 27th November 2010. Papers lasting 20 minutes are invited
on formative moments, movements, institutions and individuals in
accordance with the mission statement of the Journal of Art
Historiography. The UK means England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Moments could include significant exhibitions or the creation of
the DipAD, with its attendant requirements for art historical
instruction. Movements could include the movement of scholars or
exchange of ideas, the movement towards new art history and
broadening of study to extend out of Europe. Institutions could
include the foundation of art history departments or changes in
the museum sector. Individuals could include significant scholars
who have made an impact on the practice of the discipline.

Declarations of interest with a provisional topic should be sent
to the organiser, Richard Woodfield, at
r.woodfieldarthist.arts.gla.ac.uk, as soon as possible and no
later than June 30th. Finalised papers should be submitted by
1st November and will be circulated to participants prior to the
event. Those papers, or developed versions of them, will be
eligible for publication in the Journal. The organiser will also
actively solicit papers.

There will be a conference fee of £75 to cover the costs of a
conference dinner, refreshments and administration. Contributors
will be expected to make their own hotel bookings though rooms
will be reserved in convenient hotels for booking purposes. The
expected cost of a single hotel room would be no more than £45
per person per night. Cheap internal and international flights
are available through both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
