Proposals due 1 October 2010

The Historians of British Art, a CAA-affiliated society, seeks papers for an upcoming mini-session of work by emerging scholars to be held during the HBA Business Meeting at CAA in New York, Feb. 9-12, 2011. Current or recent graduate students (if a Ph.D. recipient, the degree must have been earned within the past three years) are invited to submit proposals for consideration. The papers may address any topic related to British art, architecture, and visual culture. Presentations or “works in progress” should be limited to fifteen minutes to allow for ample discussion. This is an opportunity for informal presentations of new or ongoing research followed by open discussion.

To submit a paper for consideration, send the following items to Colette Crossman, HBA 2nd Vice President, at colettecrossman@yahoo.com : (1) a one page abstract; (2) a C.V. (limited to two pages).; and (3) a brief cover letter explaining interest in the field. The deadline for submission is October 1, 2010. Decisions will be made by November 1. Upon selection, presenters are requested to join HBA if not currently a member.
