The Courtauld | Annual Postgraduate Symposium
June 22, 2021 @ 3:30 am - 9:00 am
The Research Forum invites you to the Post-Graduate Symposium of 2020–21, a two-day student led online conference showcasing the diverse and innovative research of Courtauld students in the final stages of their doctoral degrees. Each year, this event proves a highlight of The Courtauld’s academic year — a coming together of faculty, students, and the general public to celebrate our rising academics and their research. This year, the papers explore a diverse selection of subject-matter, materials, and technologies; and deploy a wide range of methodologies which are attentive to questions of authorship, identity, materiality, reception, and interpretation. The papers are grouped into transhistorical and trans-regional themed panels, which seek to enrich discussion by encouraging connections and observations that move beyond traditional intra-disciplinary boundaries. It is our pleasure this year to have, for the first time, two invited keynote speakers each from the fields of Art History and Conservation. Their respective contributions, reflective of the current research and teaching undertaken at The Courtauld, will stimulate further conversations and discussion amongst the Courtauld’s wider scholarly community.
