“Disability Histories in the Visual Narrative” Seminar at A.A.S., June 28–29

As we prepare for our “Into the Woods” conference on June 28–29, here’s another interesting scholarly event from the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester.

This year’s Center for Historic American Visual Culture (CHAViC) summer seminar, to be held June 8–14, will be on “Disability Histories in the Visual Archive: Redress, Protest, and Justice.”

The seminar will be led by Laurel Daen and Jennifer Van Horn. Sessions will focus on the visual and material cultures of disability in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century North America, using the unparalleled collections of the AAS.

(Our 2021 seminar explored “Living with Disabilities in New England, 1630-1930,” with Prof. Daen the first to present a paper. The volume of papers from that conference is now in press.)
