HIAA Majlis at CAA 2022--Proposals due May 31, 2021

The HIAA Majlis, held periodically in conjunction with the conference of the College Art Association (CAA), offers an opportunity for junior scholars in Islamic art to learn about their colleagues' work and to connect with more senior scholars.
 
HIAA invites submissions from graduate students at ABD level or recent PhDs to present at its next Majlis, to take place in Chicago during CAA's Annual Conference. [Note: Although we hope that the conference and associated programming will be held in person, in the event of continued restrictions on large gatherings, the Majlis will be held virtually]
 
HIAA invites proposals for 20-minute papers on current research focused on any topic, time period or region related to islamic art, architecture, and archaeology. We especially encourage proposals that highlight research and activism that expands our understanding of race and its representation in Islamic art and culture, and to topics that deal with the way racism or race has played a part in writing about Islamic art.
 
Proposals should be submitted by email to HIAA secretary Fatima Quraishi at sec.hiaa@gmail.com as a single document which includes the following:

** a cover sheet with your name, academic status, contact information (postal address, e-mail address, telephone number/s) and title of proposed presentation

** an abstract of no more than 300 words

Proposals are due by Monday, May 31, 2021.
 
Please note that those selected to present at the Majlis must be current members of HIAA.
