This summer, the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) is offering a week-long seminar on nineteenth-century photography. “Nineteenth-Century American Photography in the World” will be led by two art historians, Monica Bravo (Princeton University) and Emily Voelker (University of North Carolina, Greensboro), who specialize in this field. The seminar addresses topics such as materiality, transpacific trade networks, and representations of Indigenous and diasporic populations in the United States and around the world. Guest speakers include curators and practicing artists specializing in African American and Indigenous art and photography.

Tuition for the seminar is $850, which includes meals throughout the week and a visit to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA to view its photograph collection. Graduate students and early career scholars will be eligible for tuition scholarships. We hope to provide support for as many graduate students as funds allow.
