School of Art & Design Seminar Series
The School of Art & Design Seminar Series brings together staff, students, alumni, and friends across the sector to share the latest work in artistic practice, design, and art-historical scholarship in a program of weekly lunchtime talks. All are welcome to join us in the School’s Lecture Theatre or online via Zoom for informal and inspiring conversations covering a diverse range of topics, with a stellar list of speakers from across the ANU campus community and beyond.
The series also provides a public forum for the Sir William Dobell Visiting Chairs and Fellows, generously supported by the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation, hosting leading scholars in art history and related disciplines from across the world.
School of Art & Design Seminar Series runs each Tuesday 1pm - 2pm during semester.
The series is co-convened by Dr Alex Burchmore and Alia Parker.
