I spent Valentine's Day 2017 in New York in anticipation of one of the largest international art history gatherings - the College Art Association Annual Conference - at which I would be co-chairing the Design History Society's inaugural panel as an affiliate society. This was a valuable opportunity to work with a larger, US-based organisation and promote the DHS internationally.
