SUMMARY:CFP: JIAAW Spring Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World (JIAAW) is accepting collaborative proposals for a symposium to be held in the spring semester of 2026. Joukowsky symposia are one- or two-day affairs organized around a topic relevant to the central mission of the Institute. This includes a core strength in archaeological and allied approaches to the study of the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East\, complemented by scholarship focused on the ancient Americas and East Asian antiquity. Proposals should focus on either: 1) a geographical area of particular relevance to the JIAAW; or 2) a methodology or theme relevant to JIAAW research\, while bringing together scholars working in a variety of regions\, including (but not limited to) those relevant to the JIAAW. \nProposals should be submitted by a pair of scholars who practice in relevant disciplines\, at least one of whom must hold a Ph.D. At least one organizer should be based outside Brown University; the other should be a JIAAW Academic Faculty member\, Faculty Fellow\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, or Ph.D. candidate or Graduate Student Fellow (ABD status only\, in both cases). Proposal authors will serve as the organizers of the symposium\, which will be held at Rhode Island Hall\, the home of the JIAAW at Brown University. The JIAAW will cover all programming costs related to the event\, including costs of travel and lodging for symposium organizers and all speakers at the event. JIAAW symposia typically have budgets of $15\,000 to $30\,000 and involve a mix of local\, national\, and international scholars. \nSymposium organizers are encouraged to identify why the symposium is a good fit for the JIAAW and Brown University more broadly and to develop a plan for publication of the symposium\, either in a special issue of a journal or an edited volume. \nThe proposal should include the following:\n● A one- to two-page narrative outlining the scope and aims of the symposium and its potential impact on scholarship on archaeology and the ancient world\n● A bibliography of relevant sources cited in the proposal (no more than 2 pages)\n● A list of the names of 8-12 proposed speakers\, including their current academic or professional affiliations\n● Curriculum vitae of both organizers \nProposals will be evaluated by a committee of JIAAW Academic Faculty based on the following criteria:\n● Innovativeness\n● Potential impact on scholarship related to archaeology and the ancient world\, including publication plans\n● The synergy of the proposed lineup of speakers relative to the proposed topics\n● The symposium’s relevance to the central mission of the JIAAW and potential links to other ongoing academic initiatives at Brown University\n● The relevant experience of the organizers\, their history of publication\, and prior experience planning and overseeing conferences. \nA successful proposal will demonstrate capacity to meaningfully impact scholarship on a particular topic\, help create or support meaningful partnerships with colleagues at other institutions\, while also enriching the greater intellectual community of archaeology and the ancient world at Brown University. \nThe 2026 symposium is being considered a pilot event and if successful will lead to further calls for supported symposia in the future. Questions and completed proposals should be directed to jiaaw@brown.edu. For full consideration\, please submit proposals by March 3\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Alternate Realities: Reconsidering Power\, History\, and Representation - Mary L. Cornille
DESCRIPTION:The 41st Annual Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87) Boston University Graduate Symposium on the History of Art & Architecture \nSubmissions due: February 1st\, 2025\nSymposium dates: March 21st – 22nd\, 2025 \nAlternate Realities: Reconsidering Power\, History\, and Representation \nThe 41st anniversary of the Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87) Boston University Graduate Symposium in the History of Art & Architecture invites proposals for papers exploring themes of alterity through critically interrogating dominant historical narratives\, canonical art prejudices and hegemonic power structures in visual and material culture\, and in the field of art history. \nAlternate realities exist beyond the accepted canon and the archive within the field of art history. This symposium will give emerging scholars a platform to unearth\, illuminate\, and honor those narratives and voices that have been marginalized\, silenced\, or erased within the dominant historical record. As educators and museum professionals\, we are constantly at risk of reifying the elite and hegemonic potential of cultural institutions. Mining the museum and excavating the archive are at the heart of this symposium\, but to combat complacency and ignorance\, histories and realities that have been pushed to the margins must also be recognized. We seek papers that center alternative\, subversive and resistance-oriented worldviews proffered by artists and communities through strategies that amplify community truths\, cultural beliefs\, and oral traditions\, while questioning accepted canonical and archival structures. In the pursuit of expanding our perception of what is real and true\, some of the questions we may ask include: which people and places have been left out of the art historical narrative? What accepted ideas in art history can be dismantled\, expanded\, or eradicated? How can we\, as scholars in the field\, be proactive and shape the field to handle alterity? \nPossible subjects include but are not limited to: critical fabulation\, global modernisms\, reassessing archives\, restitution and repatriation\, collecting practices and institutions\, the innovation of institutional pedagogical practices; art academies; workshops; counter-colonial and decolonial practices; south-south alliances; reclaiming visual autonomy; myth-making; alternate mediums; alternate time frames. \nSubmissions should align with the goal of this symposium to center BIPOC\, LGBTQIA2S+\, feminist\, and counter-colonial voices\, fostering a space for these perspectives to resonate within the academy and beyond. We encourage interdisciplinary approaches\, bringing together art history\, philosophy\, architectural history\, cultural studies\, literature\, and more. We welcome submissions from graduate students at all stages and from any area of study in the global history of art and architecture. Papers must be original and unpublished. Please email as a single Word document: title\, abstract (250 words or less)\, and CV to artsymp@bu.edu. The deadline for submissions is February 1st\, 2025. Selected speakers will be notified in early February. Presentations will be 15 minutes in length\, followed by a question-and-answer session and keynote lecture. The symposium will be held at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, on Friday\, March 21st and Saturday\, March 22nd\, 2025. \nThis event is generously sponsored by Mary L. Cornille (GRS ’87). For more information\, please visit our website or email artsymp@bu.edu.
