The Program in Medieval and Early Modern Studies will hold its annual O'Brien Undergraduate Conference via Zoom this Saturday, April 10, 2021.
The conference was created many years ago to give undergraduates involved in Medieval and Early Modern Studies across several Humanities disciplines (History, Asian Studies, Religion, English, Art History) an opportunity to showcase their research to their peers and professors. A $500 cash prize will be awarded for the best student paper.
Dr. Eric Huntington of the Chao Center will respond to every paper and give the plenary talk, "Approaching the Humanities through Visual Culture," at 4:00 pm CST.
Participating students from the Department of Art History:
Isabelle Bunten, "Queen Death: Imaging Atropos in Late Medieval Manuscripts"
Tian Chen, "Traversing the Scentscape: The Materiality, Ritual, and Technology of Aromatics in Middle-period China and Beyond"
Naomi Kass, "The Internal & The External: Daoist and Buddhist Visualization and Ritual Practices"
