Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain
ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY WORKSHOP
The Gallery, 70, Cowcross Street, London, EC1M 6EL, Saturday 20 May 2017
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Offers of contributions to our first Architectural History Workshop are now invited. This is the new name of our former Graduate Student Research Forum but the purpose is unchanged and it now takes place in
our permanent London base for the event, The Gallery, Cowcross Street, London.
The Workshop invites various forms of participation to its ‘lightning’ rounds. Contributors are invited to speak for ten minutes either as a short developed paper, discursive ramble, thematic exploration,
or whatever, that explores and presents your PhD research…warts and all. This research can be at any stage from a research proposal that you wish to talk about, issues arising from your research, final work as you write-up, post-doctoral reflections and anything
in-between. Speakers from the predecessor events are particularly welcome to up-date us on the progress of their work.
The Workshop provides an informal safe-zone away from your own institution where you can discuss, debate, practice and enjoy the company of like-minded researchers taking the same journey as you in Architectural
History. The event is limited to PhD students (full - or part-time) – intending, actual, or recently graduated – a few invited guests drawn largely from Early Career Scholars, and the Society’s own funded PhD Scholars. Interspersed between student presentations
will be career-focused sessions by invited speakers. This is primarily a student-led event - by students and for students - hosted by the Society through its Education Officer and student conveners, Kieran Mahon of University College London (The Bartlett),
and Matthew Wells of the Royal College of Art/Victoria and Albert Museum.
If you are interested in making a contribution please send a working title, contact details, and roughly 300 word proposal/abstract, to the Workshop organisers at
[log in to unmask].
The closing date for receipt of applications is 15 April 2017. The result of all applications will be communicated by Friday 21 April. The Workshop takes place
on Saturday 20th May. No funding is available and a contribution of £10 is requested from all attendees to cover costs. Lunch and coffees etc are provided.
