Reading Group - Fine Arts Reading Room
Student Art Studies Association (SASA) and the Fine Arts Reading Room (FARR) will be co-hosting the first session of our monthly reading group in the Fine Arts Reading Room.
The article that we will be reading is "Redefinitions of Abjection in Contemporary Performances of the Female Body" written by Christine Ross (1997), who is the chair in Art History at McGill University.
The reading group is a fantastic opportunity to meet other students and encourage discussion between peers about art history and art historical research. All students are welcome! Light refreshments will be served.

Reading Group - Ethnocultural Art Histories Research (EAHR)
This week's reading is:
Sethi, Meera. "The mainstreaming of dissent: Women artists of colour and Canadian arts institutions." Resources for Feminist Research 29:3 (2002) 85-103.
We also recommend:
Linda Nochlin's 1971 article, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?"
Reading group texts will be selected on the basis of their appeal to our mandate. We hope these friendly meetings will foster lively conversations related to issues of Canadian visual art and its ethno-cultural communities. During this first meeting, we will examine the relationship between women artists of colour and arts institutions.
