From Panorama:
We're hiring a Project Manager! And we have have CFPs!
Have you heard the great news at Panorama (journalpanorama.org), the journal of the Association of Historians of American Art? Early this year, we received a fantastic grant award from the Terra Foundation for American Art. You can read all about it at http://bit.ly/3cvudBs, but the short version is that the project, "Toward a More Inclusive Digital Art History," will support a series of articles that contribute to a more comprehensive history of American art by focusing on the contributions of artists and constituencies that have historically been marginalized and/or under-researched—using our born-digital, open-access format to encourage digital art history scholarship that is accessible and inclusive to all kinds of scholars.
So . . . that means good news all around, because it means we're hiring! We are looking for a Project Manager to shepherd this project through its three-year duration. Read the full job posting here: http://bit.ly/2vB1OcP. YES—it is a paid position ($5,000 stipend per year), and we are looking for someone who will be able to work remotely and fold the responsibilities of this position into their current work or study life. Apply! Tell your friends and colleagues! We're looking at applications on a rolling basis, so time is of the essence.
The Terra project also means that we are officially seeking proposals on that theme: again, "Toward a More Inclusive Digital Art History." Maybe you have been working on a digital or semi-digital project for a long time already, but haven't been able to figure out how to get it ready for publication. Maybe you are just dipping a toe into those inviting but wine-dark waters of digital art history. Either way, we want to know about it, and we want to help you workshop that idea and get it out there into the world. Take a look at our Call for Proposals (http://bit.ly/2vB1OcP) and get those ideas on paper! The deadline is April 15.
Finally, don't forget that we are seeking reader feedback on our current Bully Pulpit: "Isn't it Time for Art History to Go Public?" (https://editions.lib.umn.edu/panorama/article/public-scholarship.) Contributors Sarah Beetham, Renée Ater, Theresa Leininger-Miller, Amy Werbel, La Tanya Autry, and Mike Murawski offered their thoughts and personal experiences on the subject, and we'd love to hear yours as well. Guest editor Laura M. Holzman writes, "What are your experiences with public engagement in art history? Why have you embraced or avoided public scholarship? How do the ideas and examples in these essays sit with you?" Please send your thoughts to us at journalpanorama@gmail.com with the subject line “Bully Pulpit: Public Scholarship.” We plan to include responses in the spring 2020 issue of Panorama!
