This third event organised by the CHASE Doctoral School in American Art and Visual Culture is intended to bring together faculty and doctoral students from the consortium to present and debate work in progress. The purpose of this event is to showcase the range and detail of interest in American visual culture across CHASE, especially in the light of its many intersections with other disciplines such as literature and history, as well as to enable doctoral students at CHASE institutions to encounter significant work from elsewhere in the consortium and from beyond it.
The day will include keynote lectures from three leading Americanists, Lucy Bradnock (Nottingham), Jo Pawlik (Sussex), and James Boaden (York), but the main focus will be on work by CHASE doctoral students through a series of 20-minute papers and responses.
