CFP: Rutgers Art Review Volume 43 – Extended Deadline (Oct 15, 2025)

By bbao6

On October 7, 2025

In CFP, Deadlines

All current graduate students and professionals who have completed their graduate degrees within the past year are invited to submit papers to the 43rd edition of Rutgers Art Review, a double-blind peer-reviewed journal of graduate research in art history!

Papers may address all topics, geographies, and historical periods within the history of art and architecture, visual and material culture, art theory and criticism, archaeology, cultural heritage and preservation, digital and public humanities, museum studies, film, and photography.

We are particularly interested in publishing research focused on underrepresented geographies and communities, utilizing interdisciplinary approaches, and submissions from disciplines beyond art history that center visual materials.

We also welcome authors to submit papers that comment on the state of the field, are historiographical in nature, or projects that incorporate digital humanities resources and approaches. Digital humanities-focused papers should address important art historical questions with the help of digital tools. Of particular interest are digital projects that employ computational methods, mapping, networking, and/or 3D modeling to analyze and interpret art historical or archaeological materials.

To be considered for publication, submissions must present original contributions to existing scholarship and conform to our submission guidelines. We encourage authors to ask a faculty member to review their paper before submission. Additionally, RAR offers some publication assistance to accepted authors toward the cost of image rights.

For more information, including submission guidelines, please visit: https://rar.rutgers.edu

Discover the Symbolic World of Hares in Ancient Egypt

In News and Events

We are delighted to invite you to our virtual lecture on October 25th, 2025 by Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock! In this talk, Dr. Babcock will provide an overview of the significance of the hare in ancient Egyptian culture.

Despite being linked with one of the oldest ancient Egyptian deities, the hare does not feature prominently in ancient Egyptian art, with some exceptions. The discussion will focus on when we typically find representations of hares in ancient Egypt and examine the extent to which these images and objects reflect physiological and behavioral reality.

Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock is a graduate of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University and currently a faculty member in the art history departments at Pratt Institute and Fashion Institute of Technology, SUNY. She also advises graduate students in NYU’s Visual Arts Administration Program.

Her scholarship focuses on the ancient Egyptian depictions of animals, the role of animals in ancient Egyptian religion, and the modern reception and interpretation of ancient Egyptian culture.

Hatshepsut, Amenhotep III, and Akhenaten each ruled Egypt for long periods, leaving a lasting impact on its art, politics, and religion. Though all were powerful leaders, each tells a distinct story. In this lecture, Lawrence M. Berman explores the reigns and legacies of these three remarkable Eighteenth Dynasty pharaohs, considering questions such as: What made them successful—or controversial? How were they viewed in their own time, and how have archaeologists and the public interpreted them since? The talk also examines broader themes—from the power of images and identity to iconoclasm and the writing of history—inviting reflection on who gets to shape history, and why it still matters today.

Advance registration, https://hmsc.harvard.edu/calendar_event/mavericks-three-visionary-pharaohs-of-egypt/, recommended for online and in-person attendance. In addition to this event, the museum will be open and free of charge.
