CFP Yale Symposium  “A Legacy of Landscape Study.” December 5-6, 2024

On December 5-6, 2024, the Yale Center for British Art and Oak Spring Garden Foundation will co-host a symposium, “A Legacy of Landscape Study.” This symposium aims to bring together new, interdisciplinary research about British landscapes and landscape art.

Brief CFP

By commingling the diversity of approaches to the histories and depictions of landscapes and environments represented by the YCBA and OSGF, this symposium aims to generate new scholarly conversation about the intersections of British culture, ecology, and land. 

We invite papers exploring new topics in the study of British landscapes, from art history to cultural geography to environmental studies, and we particularly welcome work exploring the relationship of cultural output to physical landscapes and ecologies. We encourage broad definitions of “landscape” and “British” to open the potential for discussions of the global context of Britain and its former empire, and to consider an international exchange of landscape art, design, and horticulture.

This symposium will be hosted in person at Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA. The YCBA will provide travel and accommodations for successful applicants.

Submissions are due by July 1, 2024.
