Graduate Visual Culture Association of Queen's University presents: 

Context and Meaning XII: Making and Breaking Identity, Graduate Student Conference, Papers in Visual & Material Culture and Art Conservation.

February 1 - 2, 2013

We are very pleased to have received a number of excellent proposals as part of Context and Meaning XII, and we are looking forward to this year’s conference!

This year, as has been the case in the past, the conference will be held at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. We are delighted to have presenters from universities across Canada and the United States, and anticipate a stimulating and dynamic event. We hope that the conference will help participants make valuable connections with fellow graduate students, and that this will be an enriching scholarly experience for everyone involved. This year we have decided to do something a little bit different with our keynote speaker and are instead offering a workshop that deals with establishing your academic identity. Led by an early-career scholar and an established professor, we hope this will be an opportunity to reflect on our own professional identities as we grow as academics.

If you have any questions or require any other information, please feel free to email us at gvca@queensu.ca.

Thank you!

Kindest regards,

Melissa La Porte, Kit McManus, Annie Cotignola and Susanne McColeman
