Summer 2024 Seminar Series

Our research seminars feature papers given by distinguished historians of British art and architecture. Seminars typically take the form of hour-long talks, followed by questions and drinks, and are geared to scholars, curators, conservators, art-trade professionals and research students working on the history of British art.

This term, the research seminar series was titled Out to Sea and focused on the influence of oceans and their coasts, in relation to Britain and its global empire, on visual and architectural imagination and production.
