In this lecture series, workshop faculty will provide a glimpse of their experiences and practices as researchers of East Asian Art History and Archaeology. Rather than presenting their research findings, five leading scholars will address fieldwork and research challenges. Why and how do scholars work the way they do? Join us to learn more about the ways in which personal experience shapes the careers and approaches of specialists in the field.
Please register in order to participate in our lecture series (in a webinar format). Upon registering, you will receive an email with the access details.
