Call for Nominations
ICMA Stahl Lecture
due FRIDAY 15 MARCH 2024
INVITE A STAR TO YOUR CAMPUS (In-person or Virtual)!
The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) seeks proposals for in-person or virtual programs under the Stahl Lecture Series to be held under the sponsorship of the organization in 2024-2025. Stahl Lectures are to be sponsored by colleges or universities in what might be termed the greater southwest, at institutions located west of the Mississippi River. Although we have the opportunity to make the program available virtually to all ICMA members, we are interested in proposals that include in-person engagement between students and speakers if conditions and logistics allow. A list of previous Stahl speakers can be found here.
Please suggest the name(s) of appropriate speakers and indicate your willingness to host the event at your institution. Please indicate the format of the event and, if applicable, whether your college or university has the infrastructure for a Zoom (or other) webinar and the tech support to launch and troubleshoot a virtual event. Joint proposals—of two or more institutions—are welcome, as traditionally, lecturers are expected to speak at more than one venue. The hosts assume the responsibility for organizing the event, ideally working in conjunction with colleagues at other institutions; for publishing the details in advance on the ICMA website and ICMA News (the newsletter); and for reporting on the event after it is over. International exchange of scholarship is encouraged, though not required.
The ICMA will contribute to an honorarium and/or travel costs, depending on the particulars of the speaker and the event itinerary and modality.
For the Stahl Lecture, please submit your CV and the CV of the proposed speaker, as well as a brief proposal/preliminary itinerary by clicking HERE.
Please direct any inquiries to the members of the “Stahl Subcommittee” of the ICMA Programs & Lectures Committee: Alice Isabella Sullivan (alice.sullivan@tufts.edu); Alison Locke Perchuk (alison.perchuk@csuci.edu); Betsy Williams (elizabethw@doaks.org).
The deadline for the nominations is 15 March 2024 for lectures to be planned for the fall of 2024 or spring of 2025.
