31 March - 2 April 2011
University of Warwick, Coventry
Call for sessions: Warwick 2011 invites the widest submissions to the 37th AAH Annual Conference. The 2011 Annual Conference is designed to showcase the diversity and richness of art history in the UK and elsewhere: we are looking for an extensive chronological range from ancient to contemporary (with a healthy dose in the middle). We want sessions that are geographically inclusive of Western Europe and the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. We also want to ensure that we have a full range of methodologies on offer ranging from object-based studies, socio-historical analyses, theoretical discourses, visual culture of the moving image, exhibition cultures and display. We would particularly welcome anthropological and archaeological approaches to the History of Art. The sessions should finally reflect the composition of our wide constituency – independent or academic researchers (including students) and museum curators.

From October 2009 Annual AAH Membership will run for 12 months from date of subscription.
