59th International Congress on Medieval Studies (Kalamazoo, MI), 2024
Western Michigan University
Saturday, May 11, 10:00-11:30am
Sangren Hall 1730 [Session 344]
Organized by Ben Tilghman, Eliza Garrison, and Nina Rowe and Sponsored by Different Visions
Which theoretical approaches can best move the field of medieval art history into the future? Which objects or sites are well-suited to analysis energized by current priorities for the discipline? How can we work collectively and systematically to pursue research that realizes anti-racist principles and provides colleagues and students with tools for analyzing social inequity and environmental degradation?
“Medieval Art History Tomorrow” will be a whiteboard session in which Workshop Leaders will offer short presentations on a critical text and an object or site, making the case for how these materials can steer the field, and move it forward. Attendees of the session will be part of a workshop through which we aim to ignite a dynamic discussion and confirm a plan for linked projects to be pursued over the coming years. At the ICMS 2025, participants will reconvene to share findings and refine the projects’ goals. At the ICMS 2026, participants will deliver polished papers presenting the research kindled by our discussions and consider next steps.
