The New England Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians is pleased to announce its upcoming 45th Annual Student Symposium.

The Student Symposium features presentations by outstanding students from programs across New England in the history, theory, and criticism of architecture, art history, urban studies, historic preservation, and related fields. This year's event will take place from mid-morning to mid-afternoon on Saturday, November 9, 2024 at the MIT Museum, 314 Main Street, Gambrill Center, Cambridge, MA 02142. Student presenters must present in-person, though the event will be held in a hybrid format for remote viewing.

Student symposium presenters are typically engaged in producing a thesis or dissertation, or are interested in developing work done in connection with a seminar or lecture course. Symposium paper topics may concern the architecture of any era or place. Presenters should be current students at an academic institution in the New England region. Paper presentations should be 20 minutes in length and accompanied by slides; presentations will be followed by a brief Q&A.

If you are interested in presenting your work at the symposium, please submit an abstract and short biographical note by September 27, 2024. Student abstracts should include the student’s name, the name of their faculty advisor, their field of study, and their institutional affiliation. Abstracts should be less than 300 words in length and should be followed by a short biography of less than 100 words. Please submit as a single PDF document to nesah.president@gmail.com.

We will notify students of acceptance decisions by October 4, 2024.
