Thank you to all the insightful panelists, speakers, and students who participated in this year’s Art History Graduate Students Conference, “Where are our women artists?: Linda Nochlin’s Question in the Age of Feminist Visual Culture,” held in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, & Sexuality from April 14-15, 2023.
A very special thanks to Art History PhD students Lauren Lovings-Gomez and James McCabe for their strong leadership in co-organizing the whole conference and our excellent group of HART grad students who assisted in the detailed planning and set up for the two days of presentations.
This year’s conference with keynote speaker Dr. Julia Bryan-Wilson, Professor of Art History and LGBTQ+ Studies at Columbia University, sought to generate thought-provoking conversations on feminist methodologies and interrogate feminism anew within the Academy. Based around feminist art historian Linda Nochlin’s 1971 essay, the conference brought together graduate students at Rice and from outside universities to participate in a sustained dialogue about where feminism has been, where it is now, and where it may go in the future.
"Where are our women artists?" was sponsored by the Rice University Department of Art History; Humanities Research Center; the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality.
