About the Colloquia

Since 1999, a weekly colloquium has featured presentations by scholars in various disciplines and other practitioners and theorists who work with visual images. The colloquium has featured presentations by scholars in Africana Studies, Biology, Archaeology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, History, History of Art, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, languages, and literatures.

The colloquium also features talks by artists, curators, filmmakers, and other practitioners and theorists who work with visual images.

In these varied presentations, speakers and audiences exchange perspectives on visual imagery's vital role in producing historical and contemporary forms of media and culture.
