Call for Papers
37th AAH (Association of Art Historians) Annual Conference
31 March– 2 April 2011, University of Warwick, Coventry
The 2011 Annual Conference showcases the diversity and richness of art history in the UK and elsewhere over an extensive chronological range from ancient to contemporary (with a healthy dose in the middle). Sessions are geographically inclusive of Western Europe and the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia. A full range of methodologies is on offer, ranging from object-based studies, socio-historical analyses, theoretical discourses, visual culture of the moving image, exhibition cultures and display. The sessions reflect the composition of our wide constituency – independent or academic researchers (including students), museum curators and teachers.
Plenary Speakers
Professor Horst Bredekamp, Humboldt University and Permanent Fellow of the Institute of Advances Studies, Berlin
Professor Patricia Rubin, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
