Williams College Graduate Program Symposium

Arts and Culture, Exhibits

,

June 6 | 9:30 am - 5:00 pm  

The Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art hosts its annual symposium at which graduating Masters students make presentations on their individual research activities. The symposium is presented in the auditorium of the Clark Art Institute’s Manton Research Center. The Graduate Program in the History of Art, operated jointly by Williams and the Clark, is one of the most respected programs in its field. Alumni have gone on to become influential scholars and leaders of renowned museums and arts institutions, among other organizations. The graduate program is housed at the Clark, providing student classrooms, administrative offices, and individual research carrels or offices for each graduate student. This year’s presentations, timed in conjunction with Williams College’s 2025 Commencement weekend, address a variety of topics in the history of art, ranging from the sonic dimensions of the seventeenth-century Japanese Hikone screen and the ethics of eighteenth-century taxidermy under French colonialism to the perceptual challenges of nineteenth-century Arctic photography and the relationship between weaving and mapping in the work of contemporary Latinx artist Consuelo Jimenez Underwood. All presentations are free and open to the public.
