University of Edinburgh
6–7 April 2006
Programme - pdf
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The Architectural Humanities Research Association invites proposals
from graduate students for contributions to its 3rd Annual Student
Research Symposium, which will be held from 6th – 7th
April 2006, at the School of Arts, Culture and Environment,
University of Edinburgh.
Proposals concerning research in any area of
the architectural humanities will be eligible for consideration
(architectural history, theory, culture, design, urbanism, etc)
In addition, this year we will particularly welcome
contributions that deal with aspects of architectural pedagogy
(including the teaching of – and the inter-relationships
between – design, history and theory; approaches to research
training and supervision; historical and contemporary pedagogic
environments and practices; the relationship between the academy
and the profession; architecture within the disciplinary configuration
of the university; alternative pedagogies; etc). Our intention
is that these will be organised as a separate strand within
the main symposium.
Papers will be 20 minutes long.
The symposium will also include a number of round-table
sessions, allowing research students to give short, 10 minute,
presentations related to interpretative, methodological or other
issues arising from work with which they are currently engaged.
It is anticipated that each of these sessions will consist of
3-4 presentations followed by an extensive discussion.
Proposals for papers should be 500 words maximum:
those for presentations in round-table sessions 250 words maximum.
Proposals should be sent by email by Friday 7 January 2006 to:
AHRA06@ed.ac.uk
Please label the subject field: AHRA06 and indicate
clearly in the main text of the email whether the submission
concerns a paper or a round-table presentation. Responses to
prospective contributors will be sent by 31 January 2006.
Submissions will be reviewed by the organising
committee and selected for inclusion in the symposium on that
basis. The organising committee is comprised of Dr Ella Chmielewska
(Cultural Studies, University of Edinburgh), Dr Mark Dorrian
(AHRA and University of Edinburgh), Richard Patterson (AHRA
and University of Brighton), Professor Jeremy Till (AHRA and
University of Sheffield), Dr Igea Troiani (Oxford Brookes University)
and a panel of graduate students from the University of Edinburgh.
Selected material from the conference will be
published in a special issue of Edinburgh Architectural Research.
We anticipate making all material presented at the conference
available as a digital archive.
There will be no charge to attend the symposium.
