Building an Engaged Art History
April 22 and 23, 2021 (via zoom)
Join us for a virtual, collaborative convening about public scholarship, civic engagement, and community-based practices in the study and teaching of art history and visual culture.
How can art historians honor ways of seeing and knowing that have been historically marginalized in the Art Worlds and the academy? How can we work in ways that serve communities beyond our institutions? How can we learn from the methods of engagement that are well-established in other disciplines? How can we build structures within our institutions that support this kind of work? Where are we now, and where do we go from here?
Experienced scholars in the public humanities will share their perspectives on the methods, ethics, and value of engaged approaches. Through a series of facilitated conversations, participants will reflect on their own engaged work and create a plan for making engaged art history more robust and more feasible in our institutions and our communities.
Register by March 1 (to enable active and collaborative work, participation will be limited).
Please contact symposium organizers Laura Holzman (IUPUI) and Erin Benay (Case Western) with any questions.
