Call for Proposals: ICMA at AAH 2021, due 17 April 2020

ICMA AT ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORY ANNUAL CONFERENCE
University of Birmingham, 14-16 April 2021
Call for ICMA Sponsored Session Proposals
due 17 April 2020

The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) seeks proposals for sessions to be held under the organization’s sponsorship at the Association for Art History's 47th Annual Conference to be held 14-16 April 2021 at the University of Birmingham, England.
 
Proposals to the ICMA must include a session abstract and a CV of the organizer(s).
Please note the following: 

  • The AAH does not require a slate of speakers; the AAH will generate a CFP once sessions have been selected. Therefore the ICMA will not request a slate of speakers.

  • The ICMA requires the CVs of the session organizers, but the AAH does not.

  • Session organizers and speakers must be ICMA members but are not required to become AAH members. However, AAH members receive a preferential conference rate.

  • Sessions at the AAH conference are built of 70-minute blocks, with a minimum of two blocks per session, up to four blocks in a day. Each block consists of two papers of 25 minutes plus 10 minutes of questions for each paper. The ICMA seeks to sponsor one session of two 70-minute blocks (four papers).

 
Please upload all session proposals by 17 April 2020  here.

Please direct all inquiries to the Chair of the Programs and Lectures Committee: Bryan C. Keene, Getty Museum, USA, bkeene@getty.edu  
 
The ICMA Programs and Lectures committee will select a session to sponsor and will notify the successful organizer(s) by 27 April 2020. The organizer(s) will then submit the ICMA-sponsored proposal to the AAH, which will make the final decision. Submit session proposals to the AAH by 1 May 2020 at sessions2021@forarthistory.org.uk following the guidelines posted on the AAH website: https://forarthistory.org.uk/our-work/conference/2021-annual-conference/

A note about the ICMA-Kress Travel Awards
Thanks to a generous grant from the Kress Foundation, funds may be available to defray travel costs of speakers in ICMA sponsored sessions up to a maximum of $600 for domestic travel and of $1200 for international travel. If available, the Kress funds are allocated for travel and hotel only. Speakers in ICMA sponsored sessions will be refunded only after the conference, against travel receipts.  In addition to speakers, session organizers delivering papers as an integral part of the session (i.e. with a specific title listed in the program) are now also eligible to receive travel funding.
