The RASC/a Art History Graduate Student Association invites the public to its fourth annual graduate student conference. Graduate students from all over the world will present papers on the theme of “Untethered Subjects.” This year’s conference considers the understanding of identity in the history of art, and addresses questions such as: What is identity? How is it visualized, negotiated and contested in art and visual culture? How is it erased, masked or concealed? How does identity perform in the contexts of gender, class, politics and ethnicity? How has history attempted to understand identity through categorizations, classifications or science? Is identity fluid or fixed? The event begins Friday evening with a talk by keynote speaker Dr. Krista Thompson, professor in the Department of Art History, Northwestern University, followed by a visit to SMU’s Pollock Gallery. Saturday will include breakfast at 9 a.m., paper presentations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a visit to the Meadows Museum from 3 to 5 p.m. For more information call 214.768.2698.
