Call for the 2.5-hour SHERA panel proposal for the 2017 CAA

Dear members of the SHERA listserv:

We are looking for volunteers to chair or co-chair a 2.5- hour
SHERA-sponsored panel for CAA 2017 and to come up with a broadly-formulated
theme that explicitly appeals to the full range of our members' interests,
both geographical and chronological.  Since our resurgence 2 years ago, we
have been successful in soliciting excellent proposals from our members,
both for 1.5 and 2.5-hour sessions.  As a reminder and an inspiration, I am
sending you a list of SHERA-sponsored sessions we’ve organized so far:

2014  – 1.5-hour session: “Decentering Art of the Former East.”  Co-chaired
by Kristin Romberg and Masha Chlenova;

2015  – 1.5-hour session:  “Infiltrating the Pedagogical Canon.”  Chaired
by Marie Gasper-Hulvat;

2.5-hour double session:  “Reconsidering Art and Politics:  Towards New
Narratives of Russian and Eastern European Art.” Chaired by Maria Taroutina
and Galina Mardilovich;

2016  – 1.5-hour session:  “Collecting, Curating, Canonizing, Critiquing:
The Institutionalization of Eastern European Art.”  Chaired by Ksenia
Nouril;

2.5-hour double session: “Exploring Native Traditions in Eastern Europe,
Russia, and Eurasia.”  Chaired by Alison Hilton.

We will send out calls for short sessions in April of next year, but
meanwhile we are looking forward to receiving your proposals for the
2.5-hour slot.

Please send your proposals to [email protected] by September
5.

Once we make a selection, we will write a letter of support to the CAA
conference committee, so that your session has a better chance of being
accepted.  As you can see from our record, so far this tactic has worked.  If
it does not, you will always have a chance to resubmit next year or during
our short-session call in April.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

SHERA Officers
