Book Publication Seminar

The event is geared towards early career art historians who have yet to publish widely and wish to learn more about the field of art historical publishing, but is also open to a more general audience of scholars. Each panelist will speak for approximately 10 minutes about their particular area of expertise and institution, before engaging in discussion with each other, and answering questions from the audience.
