Call for papers: 2011 ANAGPIC Student Conference Special Session
Conservation/Conservation Science Lightning Round
Delaware Art Museum
Saturday, 16 April 2011
On behalf of the Association of North American Graduate Programs in Conservation, the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation invites submissions for a Conservation/Conservation Science Lightning Round to be held during the 2011 ANAGPIC Student Conference in Wilmington, DE.
The preservation and conservation of cultural heritage is inherently interdisciplinary, and its scholars may be found in a variety of disciplines ranging from art conservation and archaeology to materials science and nanotechnology. This session invites submissions from current North American doctoral students and post-graduate researchers that relate to technical art history or the preservation of art, historic architecture, and cultural heritage, broadly defined. "Post-graduate researchers" includes students who have graduated from a Master's program and are now on advanced internships carrying out research. The Conservation/Conservation Science Lightning Round will consist of 12 speakers, each with five minutes to present an illustrated summary of their research to current conservation graduate students, followed by a Q&A session for all speakers.
Please submit proposals (abstract of no more than 250 words, contact information, and institutional affiliation) or any inquiries to ANAGPIC.Lightning@gmail.com. Submissions must be received by 10PM EST on 5 January 2011. Speakers will be notified in February 2011.
