Feminist Art History Conference, Abstract Submission, 2027

We invite established and emerging scholars of art history as well as well as advanced graduate students to submit proposals for the 10th Feminist Art History Conference at American University in Washington, D.C.

All panels will be held online via Zoom, September 24-25, 2027, with select in-person activities for local participants.

In the spirit of feminist practice, this is an open call for papers that may address any time period (ancient to contemporary), region, and issue relevant to the ways in which gendered ideologies have shaped the visual arts and their study. We especially welcome submissions that are inclusive, intersectional, and/or interdisciplinary in topic or approach and are eager to see the keynote speakers’ subfields well represented. This year's keynote speakers are Sherry Farrell-Racette and Melissa Hyde.

Topics may include (but are not limited to) artists, movements, works of art and architecture; cultural institutions and critical discourses; practices of collecting, patronage, and display; the historiography of feminist art history; the gendering of objects, spaces, and media; the reception of images; and issues of power, agency, gender, and sexuality within visual and material cultures.

Submissions will be accepted until December 15, 2026.
