110th CAA Annual Conference, Virtual Session, “Dismantling the Patriarchal Canon: Foregrounding Women Artists and Patrons through Digital Art History” (Chicago, February 16 – 19, 2022)
Submission Deadline: Thursday, September 16
The session chair invites paper proposals for the College Art Association (CAA) 2022 affiliated session of the Art Libraries Society of North America, Appraising Your Research As Data: Managing, Visualizing, and Preserving Your Scholarship.
The scholarship used and produced by art historians and visual artists is no longer limited to journal articles, research notes, and works of art. Today, new approaches to art historical research and visual arts practice utilize media-rich and technology-robust sources of data such as GIS coordinates, 3D scans and prints, video games, Twitter feeds, Instagram images, and virtual and augmented reality tools. Research data management, data visualization, and data preservation play increasingly important roles in the evolving landscape of scholarly endeavors; and academic libraries are expanding their services, creating new spaces, and developing frameworks to support new fields of inquiry by art history practitioners. Moreover, academic administrations are establishing institutional repository standards for all disciplines, and grant-funding agencies are requiring data management plans. Innovative faculty and students partner with librarians and library specialists for guidance on the discovery, use, and maintenance of diverse data formats. This panel will address useful research management practices, skills, and methods to visually represent research, and processes and tools to archive and preserve data in all phases of the research lifecycle.
To submit a proposal, visit the CAA Call For Proposals page where a Proposal Form is available in the “How to Submit” section. By September 16, email a short CV, a paper abstract of no more than 250 words, a session fit rationale of no more than 100 words, and (optional) images to the session chair, Jill Luedke (jluedke@temple.edu).
