The Columbia Art History Grad Colloquium is a series designed to bring together department faculty and graduate students from all fields. This is the chance to try out new ideas, introduce current scholarship, refine a paper, present an idea for a new course, prepare for a fellowship interview, see if you prefer Keynote to PowerPoint, etc. The goal is to have one presenter every Thursday who will have the opportunity to speak in front of a supportive audience.

If you know that you would like to present (15-30min max), please let me know. If you have any suggestions for presentation topics, comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact Anna Ratner at columbiacolloquium@gmail.com
