contemporary art, art history, and related disciplines. After the activism

of the 1960s and '70s, and the revisionist critiques of the 1980s and '90s,

this symposium examines ways in which gender is currently addressed by

artists, museums and the academy, and its future role in art practice and

scholarship. Keynote speakers:
