Showcasing Art History

Introduction

As the programme name implies, our evening lecture series Showcasing Art History shares the latest art-historical thinking and The Courtauld’s excellence in research and teaching with the wider public. The lectures aim for a lively delivery and are given by members of the Courtauld faculty, by associates and alumni of our college, and by other eminent scholars.

Each new season of Showcasing Art History offers three free-standing terms. Lectures delivered on campus at Vernon Square are recorded and made available to our online audience, who will be given their own live Zoom discussion sessions. There will be extensive course materials on the VLE for both in-person and online learners.

Lectures are given live on campus at 19:00 on Tuesdays and Zoom discussions for our online audience members take place on Wednesday at 20:00 [London time]. Terms may be booked in isolation or in combination, and discounts apply if more than one term is booked.

You can opt to attend these lectures either on campus or online. If you attend on campus and have to miss one or more lectures, please send us an email requesting a recording of the relevant lecture(s) (for one week).
