Warwick History Student wins the "Royal Historical Society / History Today" 2012 Prize

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 17:57:51 GMT

Mr Frederick Smith, a single-honours Renaissance-stream History graduate of 2011, has won the "Royal Historical Society / History Today" 2012 prize for his undergraduate dissertation "'Discerning cheese from Chalke': Louvainist Propaganda and recusant identity in 1560s England".

One of the judges, Professor Mark Cornwall, commented, "This is a very sophisticated and ambitious piece of work which combines excellent text analysis with a clear and engaging theoretical framework. It boldly challenges existing historiography in trying to reassess the impact of Louvanist propaganda as a vehicle for reasserting Catholicism in England in the first decade of Queen Elizabeth I. The result is an admirably controlled and very well-presented dissertation with a convincing argument."

Beauty will save the world: an interdisciplinary postgraduate workshop on Art and Social Change

Thu, 13 May 2010 09:00:37 GMT

7-8 September 2010, University of Bristol

This two-day interdisciplinary postgraduate workshop is premised on the assumption that art actively constructs social ‘reality’, as opposed to merely reflecting it. It aims to bring together postgraduate students working in and across various disciplines to share research which looks at the contested meanings of art and aesthetics, explores art in different cultural and historical settings, and examines the ways in which art and its constructions of beauty, society, politics can help in understanding, and changing, the social world.

We welcome paper and panel proposals (2-3 presenters per panel) which engage specifically with the theme of art and social change, from various disciplines. Papers can include think pieces or works in progress. We encourage a diversity of presentation styles, from ‘traditional’ papers to interactive sessions, involving short film screenings, musical and dramatic performances, and the display of paintings, sculpture, photographs, and installation art. Presenters will be assigned a 30-minute slot for their presentation, which can be used by the presenter as they wish, but must include at least 5 minutes for audience questions.
