Body | Soul | Crisis | Recovery

2021 Graduate Art History & English Interdisciplinary Conference

The University of St. Thomas Art History, English, Museum Studies, and Creative Writing & Publishing graduate programs will host a virtual interdisciplinary conference on Friday, April 23, 2021. While papers addressing any aspect of literature, film, art history, architecture, museum studies, new media, and cultural studies will be considered, the graduate programs particularly welcome proposals for papers exploring the conference theme across all time periods, media, and geographical regions. We are also seeking creative writers to read original work related to the conference theme.

We welcome you to explore the theme of Body | Soul | Crisis | Recovery in an interdisciplinary way, engaging a wide variety of approaches, traditions, innovations, and points of view, in art or texts from any historical moment.

  • Rhetoric/Art of Sickness and Health: The history and understanding of the individual being and the collective; health and wellness representations or depictions; rhetoric of sickness and health applied to societies, governments, communities.
  • Physical Environments of the Body and Soul: Nature and the self’s relationship with it; sustainability; climate change; water; what nourishes and what poisons; urban, suburban or rural environments; environmental disasters or crises.
