Deadline May 31, 2019

Website | Application

Over the past two decades, universities have come to emphasize various forms of engagement (experiential learning, community-based research, and public scholarship) within their academic mission. At the same time, organizations such as SSHRC and the CBRC Network, in Canada, and Imagining America, in the USA, have been strong proponents of engaged scholarship and teaching. But what is engaged art history? This panel welcomes papers that examine questions of art historical research, media of expression and teaching, and that align with or forge unique contributions to the more general discourse of engagement studies. Papers that focus on contemporary and historical case studies in any subfield or raise theoretical issues are welcome.
