Call For Papers: Context & Meaning 2025

We are pleased to announce the twenty-fourth annual Context and Meaning Graduate Student Conference, hosted by the Queen’s University Department of Art History and Art Conservation in Kingston, Ontario. This two-day conference will be in-person on Friday, February 28th and Saturday, March 1st, 2025.

Beginnings are messy. How do we start to tell the history of an artwork, a field, an object, or a phenomenon? Tracing the beginning of histories can reveal inconsistencies in the constructions of canons and problematize issues in the field. Studying the beginnings of fields or the early collecting practices of museums illustrates the complexities of trying to establish something new. Terms such as pioneering, discovery, or origins denote beginnings and are freighted with layers of meaning. Many such terms, like trailblazing and spearheading, imply the extractive processes inherent to narrating history and its foundations. But beginning can alternatively be more positive: creating, growing, caring, and building something anew.

By choosing the theme “Beginnings” for the twenty-fourth annual Context and Meaning conference, the Graduate Visual Culture Association at Queen’s University aims to stimulate discussions about how institutions, fields, and styles are formed, how artists visualize rites of passage in their work, and how beginnings can involve processes of both care and harm.

Some potential topics that we hope to explore include, but are by no means limited to:
– Historiography— the establishment or codification of a “new” academic field (ex: African Art, Craft, Photography, Visual Culture Studies, Design History, Contemporary Art)
– Motherhood, adulthood, growing pains, birth and other rites of passage in art and material culture.
– Migration, exile, and beginning anew due to political, social, or economic circumstances in art and material culture.
– The beginnings of an artwork or object (materials and making, technical art history, the conservation of cultural materials)
– Foundations of artistic movements and figures who are left out of the canon
– The early collecting practices of a museum or cultural institution

Context and Meaning XXIV intends to provide an inclusive forum for multi-disciplinary academic discussion on visual and material culture. We encourage submissions from graduate students and scholars with a broad range of backgrounds and approaches whose research employs visual and material culture in ruminating on the themes of beginning. Submissions are welcome from current graduate students, as well as from those who have completed their graduate studies within the last two years. We seek to assemble a diverse group of scholars to foster interdisciplinary discussions.

If you are interested in participating in Context and Meaning XXIV, please visit www.gvca.ca/context-and-meaning to submit an abstract of no more than 300 words with the title of your paper and a 150-word bio. Each presenter will be asked to deliver a 15-minute presentation that will be followed by a panel discussion period. The deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, November 15th, 2024. Thank you to all who apply!

Position Rank: Other
Area of Specialty: Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations
Application Deadline: 2024-12-01

Yale University seeks to appoint a Postdoctoral Associate for a one-year position, renewable for a second year, beginning in the academic year 2025-2026 within Archaia: the Yale Program for the Study of Global Antiquity. Archaia is a collaborative forum that brings together scholars and graduate students working on early and pre-modern cultures and civilizations at Yale in the Humanities and Social Sciences in addition to the Divinity and Law Schools and various University collections and libraries, including the Yale University Art Gallery, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Peabody Museum of Natural History, and the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage. Participating departments and disciplines include Classics, East Asian Languages and Literatures, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, History, Religious Studies, Archaeology and Anthropology, History of Art, and the Divinity School. In addition to hosting conferences and colloquia, the year-long Ancient Societies Workshop (ASW), and study tours, Archaia offers a graduate qualification for students interested in research beyond departmental lines. For additional information, see https://archaia.yale.edu/certification. Information about past post-doctoral fellows can be found here.

Past Archaia seminars and ASW topics have included ancient music, comparative linguistics in pre-modern languages, ancient comparative law, ancient ritual, antiquity through the digital humanities, and the archaeology of Dura Europos. Anticipated upcoming topics include environmental determinism, constructions of the human body and race and how these ideas travel cross culturally, and the archaeology of Gerasa; we are also open to other innovative and cross-disciplinary proposals for future workshops and core seminars. We especially welcome applicants working in areas beyond the ancient Mediterranean world.

The postdoctoral associate is expected to take an active role in Archaia programming while pursuing research in their own area of expertise. Additionally, the associate’s duties include: (1) participating in the Archaia Steering Committee, coordinating the graduate certification program, and participating in the graduate forum as a mentor; (2) offering, in the first year, a graduate seminar and/or a study tour (the seminar may be connected with the tour); (3) in the second year of the appointment, co-teaching the Archaia core seminar with a Yale faculty member and/or co-organizing the Archaia Study Tour. The postdoctoral associate will receive guidance from and report to the Archaia co-chairs and will also be provided with at least one mentor from a field/department close to their area of training and expertise.

Salary is commensurate with education and experience along with Yale’s benefits package that includes health insurance.

October Updates from ARCE

Implementing a Unified Museum Database System across Cairo-based Museums: CIPAIG Grant Project Launch

The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities’ (MoTA) Central Information System: Data Rescue, Training and Needs Assessment Project launch and reception was held on 17 September at the Coptic Museum. Opening remarks were given by U.S. Ambassador Herro Mustafa Garg joined Deputy Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Yomna El-Bahar, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Rafik Mansour, and ARCE Executive Director Dr. Louise Bertini to commemorate this project’s historic launch.

The grant will help Egyptian museum staff become more proficient in information technology, documentation, and collections management. Additionally, it will set the stage for a centralised system of documentation and collections management that will ensure accurate monitoring and documenting of artefacts by bringing pieces from various MoTA museums together through a single search interface.

The project will be implemented at various historical museums across Greater Cairo: the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (EMC), the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the Coptic Museum, the Museum of Islamic Art, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC).

An Ancient Egyptian UNESCO? Special Briefing by Professor Khaled El Enany, nominee for UNESCO’s Director-General Post

In September, ARCE also held a joint event with the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM): a special breakfast briefing in honor of former Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Professor Khaled El Enany’s candidacy for the role of United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)’s Director-General post.

Opening remarks by AMCHAM CEO Sylvia Menassa, president Tarek Tawfik, and ARCE Executive Director Dr. Louise Bertini highlighted the vital role tourism and heritage play in the country’s developmental framework, and ARCE’s contributions to cultural heritage preservation.

Inspired by UNESCO’s main values, Professor El Enany delivered a captivating lecture on how life in ancient Egypt tackled the same ethos as the organization’s, interweaving past and present as he explored science, education, ethics, social inclusion and other relevant themes.

Funding for this activity is provided by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State through a grant from the Council of American Overseas Research Centers.

Special Sections are excellent venues for publishing a group of papers from a symposium at a professional meeting, the results of a collaborative research project, or a set of papers on a focused topic.

Discussion Articles typically address a matter of current debate and discussion in the discipline, and most will be based on a body of research. Some will originate in commissions, some will be proposed by authors, and in some cases a regular submission may form the basis of the Discussion if the original author(s) agree.
Did you know that you can publish your article in The Journal of Roman Archaeology as open access?

Publishing open access (OA) helps to advance discovery by allowing anyone, anywhere in the world with internet access to find, access, and benefit from your research.

Your Article Processing Charge (APC) may already be covered by an OA publishing agreement between Cambridge University Press and your institution. Find out below whether you are eligible.
