Call for Papers

One-day symposium sponsored by the Grace Slack McNeil Program for Studies in
American Art at Wellesley College and Historic Deerfield, Inc.

>From Suffrage to Stonewall: The Visual and Material Culture of Social
Justice

Wellesley College, Wellesley, MA/USA

March 14, 2020

 

The years 2019 and 2020 are significant anniversaries for the history of
social justice movements in the United States. These anniversaries
commemorate the many campaigns for social justice that have taken place from
the 19th century to the present, including abolition/antislavery, women's
rights, and the civil rights movements for the African-American, LGBTQ,
Native American, and disability communities. These campaigns all sought
political and economic change, but they also focused on shifting cultural
attitudes toward and perceptions of the groups for whom they mobilized. All
of these movements deployed visual and material culture to advance their
goals, but these artifacts have not drawn the scholarly attention they
deserve. The 2020 Wellesley-Deerfield Symposium will focus on research
related to any aspect of this subject from painting, sculpture, public
performance and installation to ephemera, costume, and craft. 

 

Papers should be theoretical or analytical in nature rather than descriptive
and should be approximately 20 minutes long.  All proposals will be
peer-reviewed. Speakers invited to present papers will receive overnight
accommodation and are expected to participate fully in the symposium
program.

 

Please submit 250-word proposals and a two-page c.v. via electronic mail to
Martha McNamara mmcnamar at wellesley.edu and Barbara Mathews
bmathews at historic-deerfield.org <mailto:bmathews at historic-deerfield.org> .
Proposals should include the title of the paper and the presenter's name.
The deadline for submissions is November 15th, 2019.
