PMC Doctoral & Early Career Researchers Networks: Discussing Landscape
Date and time
Location
Paul Mellon Centre
16 Bedford Square London WC1B 3JA United KingdomDescription
Please join us for an evening discussing current research on landscape with Tim Barringer, Paul Mellon Professor and Chair of the Department of the History of Art at Yale University. The evening will feature a series of lively, five-minute presentations from members of the Paul Mellon Centre's Doctoral and Early Career Researchers Networks who will be sharing snapshots of their research on landscape by focusing on one image or object that speaks to some of the issues and ideas they are currently grappling with. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversations throughout the evening with refreshments and nibbles provided.
This specially-programmed DRN and ECR Network event at the Paul Mellon Centre complements Tim Barringer's 2019 Paul Mellon lecture series at the National Gallery, 'Global landscape in the age of Empire'. Information about the lecture series and ticket details can be found here.
Organised by
The DRN is a collective for doctoral students to acquire key skills critical to their research and professional development. The network is run by two co-convenors – Lucy Shaw and Jennifer Warren.
The network will stage events and activities that will provide academic and CPD (continuing professional development) skills, such as workshops for dissertation writing, conference paper writing and presentation, preparing for upgrades and vivas, grant writing, and much more. The network will also provide opportunities for members to present on-going research, network with academics in the field, and provide assistance with applying for post-doctoral fellowships and jobs.
The DRN will serve as an opportunity for members to connect with colleagues all over the country, which will in turn create a supportive and creative environment that will aid members through the process of researching, writing, and publishing their dissertation.
In its aim to support and promote academic research and publishing in British art history, the Paul Mellon Centre is proud to be able to facilitate and support this forward looking endeavour, and look forward to encouraging the next generation of scholars.
