Every fall UAAC hosts Canada’s professional conference for visual arts based research by art historians, professors, artists, curators and cultural workers. The conference is held at a different location each year, normally at a Canadian university or college, and the sessions and panels address issues and subjects in art history, theory and practice from a variety of methodological approaches.
We’re pleased to announce that UAAC-AAUC’s next conference will be held in beautiful Québec City at the Hilton Hotel from October 24 to 27, 2019.
Call for sessions
We invite the submission of session proposals for the annual UAAC-AAUC conference. We hope to offer a range of sessions, round tables, and panels that reflect UAAC’s diverse constituents, in terms of membership and scholarship. Sessions, round tables, and panels are invited that interrogate historical and contemporary art history, visual and material culture, creative studio practice, design practice, theory and criticism, pedagogy, and museum and gallery practice. We particularly welcome sessions that focus on areas that have not been strongly represented at previous UAAC conferences, such as Indigenous scholarship and practices, scholars, artists/theorists dealing with race(ism), immigration, diaspora, and, more recently, Medieval and Early Modern studies.
Proposals (which can be in English, French or an Indigenous language) should include a title; a 150-word description of the panel; and full contact information for the session chair/s. The deadline for submission to uaac@gozoom.ca is February 28, 2019.
Only members of UAAC-AAUC may chair or co-chair and/or present papers in conference sessions. Non-members who propose sessions will be required to become members in the event that their proposals are accepted.
We welcome proposals from permanent and contractual academic staff, independent scholars, artists and curators, and graduate students in terminal degree programs. Sessions that include a mixture of graduate students and faculty/independent researchers are also encouraged.
Please note that only ONE proposal will be accepted per member, whether that proposal is for a single or jointly chaired session, roundtable or workshop.
We invite you to visit the UAAC website at http://www.uaac-aauc.com to find out about the conference and membership.
Please submit proposals using the attached form to Fran Pauzé, at uaac@gozoom.ca by February 28, 2019
A receipt will be sent for all proposals received. If you do not receive a receipt please contact the UAAC-AAUC office.
