Student Research

The BGC's commitment to research extends to our students and alumni as well. We maintain and support several endowed fellowships designed to enable our students to pursue research connected to their theses and dissertations. For detailed application information click here.

We also support a student-planned and student-run graduate symposium that takes place every April. Titles of past symposia have been:

2008- Certified Authentic? Counterfeits, Copies, & Constructions of Culture
2007- At Home and Abroad: Geography of the Decorative Arts

2005- Skin Deep? Surfaces and Beyond
2004- Accumulative Effects: The Psychology, Aesthetic, and Display of Collections
2003- Designed Identities
2002- Modern Means

This year's symposium is scheduled for Friday, April 24, 2009, 9am-5pm. Detailed information will soon be available.
