Inspired by the idea that research is deepened through intentionality, this symposium aims to cultivate conversation by connecting early-career scholars in the fields of art, architecture, and design. A series of afternoon paper sessions, open to the public, will explore materiality, spatial perspectives, and the broader practice of writing histories in these disciplines.

At 3:30 pm, an Open Forum session will be dedicated to building connections among scholars, fostering discussions on shared experiences, and identifying ways to create a sustainable and supportive community. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their roles within their disciplines, discuss challenges such as career development and interdisciplinary collaboration, and consider future initiatives. This forum aims to be an inclusive and constructive space for scholars to voice concerns and exchange ideas.

While the day symposium is free to attend, we kindly ask that you register in advance to secure your spot and help us ensure a smooth experience for all participants. Although we encourage in-person attendance, hybrid participation is an option to listen in on the afternoon paper sessions.
