HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE OPEN FORUM AND LAUNCH OF DECOLNISING ART HISTORY RESOURCE PORTAL

Wednesday 14 April 2021, 17.30 - 18.15  

The Higher Education Committee of the Association for Art History works closely with the Association on matters of common interest to those in the higher education sector and helps to further the Association’s advocacy efforts within that sector. One of our initiatives is the conference workshop ‘Working together to expand the pool of Art History students’ which will take place on the afternoon of Wednesday 14 April, prior to the meet-up. Please join us to hear about the other work that we have been doing, which includes guidelines on teaching art history during Covid and a report on the experience of casualised workers in art history (both on the Association website). We are also delighted to celebrate with you the launch of a Resource Portal for Decolonising Art History which we have developed following generous donations to a crowdfunding campaign.     

The committee comprises 15 academics from around the UK who share information with a broader network within their respective regions. It represents all art historians teaching in universities, not just those with permanent contracts. Our aim is to respond to your needs, so you would like to discuss current issues within the HE sector that the committee and the Association could address, please come along. 

This session will be accessible via the virtual platform
