Vacancy: Art History Tutor – Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution

We are seeking an art history tutor for the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution, as due to unforeseen circumstances we find ourselves without a tutor for the academic year 2016 to 2017.

 

HLSI is a charity and apart from a professional librarian and office staff, is run by volunteers. Among our many activities we run a wide variety of classes for adults, mainly in the daytime. Our membership is mostly retired and highly educated, well travelled and with a good general knowledge of art. We are looking for a tutor for the complete academic year and fees are subject to negotiation. Our current course is Art of the Superpowers: Art and Society in America, China and Russia, following courses on British art from World War I to the 1980s, and European Art of the 20th Century, which proved very popular. Our students seem to prefer courses covering more recent art and artistic practice but we are flexible about subject matter in the interests of finding an excellent tutor.

 

HLSI is situated in the middle of Highgate village. Our History of Art courses, which are well attended, take place on Wednesday mornings in the Institution’s attractive Victoria Hall which doubles as an exhibitions gallery. Apart from classes we run art exhibitions, a film and theatre club, debates and a programme of lectures on Tuesday evenings. Members also benefit from a well stocked library.  Our current programme can be viewed on the website www.hlsi.net

  

With kind regards

Mary Butler

BIMI Funding to present in Pittsburgh – deadline end of July

Opportunity to present research at Pittsburgh Graduate Student Conference 30 September-1 October 2016

As part of Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image’s collaboration with University of Pittsburgh, we are proposing for the second year running to help fund two Birkbeck research students who would like to present their research at the Pittsburgh Film Studies Graduate Student Conference, 30 September-1 October 2016.

The theme of this year’s conference is “All in the Family: Theorizing Incest and/as Media Erotics” – see attached call for papers. Please note that the deadline for Birkbeck students proposing papers is the end of July (not 10 July as stated in the document).

Although the conference is run by Film Studies research students at Pitt, they are very open to film and media related proposals coming from any field or discipline. So please feel free to put your project forward, regardless of the department or school in which you study at Birkbeck.

If your paper is chosen for the conference, BIMI will subsidise your travel up to £500. Once you are in Pittsburgh, the Film Studies Graduate Student Organization (FSGSO) will undertake to look after you during your stay.

The call for papers asks you to submit your proposal directly to this address: pittfilmgradconference@gmail.com – however, we would be grateful if you could copy your proposal to this address: bimi@bbk.ac.uk
