SAH Chapter and Partner News

The Society of Historians of Eastern European, Eurasian, and Russian Art and
Architecture (SHERA) sponsored three sessions at the 2015 CAA conference,
hosted scholars from Hungary, Russia, and Ukraine, and, during the
membership meeting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Watson Library,
introduced rare books collection on Russian, East European, and Eurasian art
and architecture. SHERA's new institutional member, ARTINRUSSIA of the
School of Russian and Asian Studies, organizes study abroad programs and
travel assistance.

 

 


Registration is now open for the 2015 Docomomo US National Symposium,
Modernism on the Prairie: Rural to Metro Regional Interpretations of the
Modern Movement, which takes place in Minneapolis, Minn., from June 4-7. The
symposium will feature four days of programming and draw speakers and
attendees from across Minnesota, the United States, and internationally.



 

In October, Meg Nagle and President Glen Umberger of SAH's James Oglethorpe
Chapter presented papers at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Southeast Chapter
of SAH. On February 5-7, VP Katharine Williams and Umberger presented papers
at the Ninth Savannah Symposium: The Architecture of Trade, sponsored by the
Architectural History Department at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
Also at the symposium, the Oglethorpe Chapter hosted a graduate student
roundtable event "Perspectives on Academia," moderated by Umberger.




The annual conference of the Marion Dean Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of
SAH will be held in Ashland, Oregon, October 23-25, 2015. The theme of this
year's conference will be "Artifice and Authenticity in Architecture: To
