You are cordially invited to join us on April 10, 2024, for an exciting evening of art historical discussion and critical reflection. The symposium comprises the presentation and discussion of a range of undergraduate research addressing both contemporary and historical issues. This year’s papers examine a wide range of topics, from nineteenth-century discourses around vision and subjectivity to the influence of Playboy magazine on domestic architecture in the mid-twentieth century. Following each presentation, students and faculty will have a chance to ask questions and offer comments during a short Q&A period.
Reception with light refreshments to follow. We look forward to seeing you at this milestone event!
