The Design History Society invites proposals for an Affiliated Society panel at the College Art Association conference to take place in Chicago, IL in 2026. The annual conference gathering organised by CAA provides an opportunity for professionals in the arts, design, culture and its histories to debate current issues in research, education and creative practice.
The DHS welcomes submissions of prearranged panel themes from its current members. Proposals that consider critical approaches to current topics in design history and design pedagogy are encouraged. Panels may be framed as a set line-up of speakers or as a theme with an open call for papers.
Schedule
An abstract of up to 250 words of the proposed panel theme and its intended structure (set speakers, or an open call) should be sent to DHS Senior Administrator Jenna Allsopp-Douglas (designhistorysociety@gmail.com) by 11:59pm BST on 8th April. Please confirm that the Chair and all panellists are current DHS members.
Notifications of acceptance by the DHS will be sent by 15 April.
The selected chair will submit a final panel proposal via the CAA portal by Friday 25 April.
As sponsors of the panel, the DHS can support up to one Chair and three panellists with CAA membership annual fees, conference registration fees and travel and accommodation expenses.
Further information on deadlines and guidelines leading up to the conference can be found on the CAA website here: https://www.collegeart.org/pro...
