Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online offers talks and other resources to support teaching, learning, and research in Islamic art, architecture, visual culture, and related fields. Since the website’s launch in Fall 2020, new contributions by scholars in the field have grown our catalogue.
Khamseen’s Graduate Student Presentation Award enables graduate students to feature their expertise and contribute a talk to Khamseen. This year, graduate students may partner with a mentor to collaborate on a presentation.
For this year’s Khamseen Graduate Student Presentation Award, we thus invite:
- PhD candidates (ABD) to submit a script of ca. 1,500 words and accompanying Powerpoint slides for a Topic presentation.
or
- A team consisting of a PhD student and a mentor (professor, curator, librarian, or more senior colleague) to submit a script of ca. 1,500 words and accompanying Powerpoint slides for a Topic, Term, or Hands-On presentation.
The award recipient(s) will work with our team to revise and then produce their presentation, and they also will receive a prize of $500 upon their talk’s launch on the Khamseen website.
