Congratulations to all who participated in Department of Art History’s 33rd Annual Graduate Symposium on October 2nd & 3rd, 2015. The symposium brought together graduate students from ten universities around the country for presentation and discussion of their research. Twelve students presented their research in the form of twenty-minute papers, followed by critical discussion with students and faculty. The Symposium keynote address was delivered by a visiting scholar as part of the Thursby Distinguished Scholars Lecture Series. This year’s distinguished speaker was Claire Farago, professor of Art History at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who specializes in Renaissance art and theory, historiography, and museum practice.
