IMBY (In My Backyard): Faculty Scholarship in Art History and Film/Media Studies

This seminar links first- and second-year Ph.D. students to faculty members in Art History and Film/Media Studies at Stanford. On a rotating basis, 5 faculty members in the Department discuss their most recent book or essay, which we will be read in advance. We also read texts that have been important to the visitor in shaping their work.Graduate students in this seminar will grapple with the intellectual, methodological, and political stakes of faculty scholarship "in their own backyard."
