New Series Announcement - Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation Studies in Art History

NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT
McGill-Queen’s/Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation Studies in Art History
Martha Langford and Sandra Paikowsky, series editors

McGill-Queen’s University Press and the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation are proud to announce a new series devoted to the study of Canadian art and Canada’s visual and material culture. Recognizing the need for a better understanding of Canada’s artistic culture both at home and abroad, the generous support of the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation makes possible the publication of innovative books that will support, stimulate, and energize scholarship. We welcome submissions from Canadian and international scholars for book-length projects on historical and contemporary Canadian art and visual and material culture, including Native and Inuit art, architecture, photography, craft, design, and mu­seum studies. We will also consider studies on non-Canadian themes by Canadian scholars.

This series continues the contribution that the Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation has made to scholar­ship and publishing in the arts in Canada by supporting the following McGill-Queen’s University Press publications: Pegi by Herself: The Life of Pegi Nicol MacLeod, Canadian Artist by Laura Brandon; Craft­ing Identity: The Development of Professional Fine Craft in Canada by Sandra Alfoldy; Radical Ges­tures: Feminism and Performance Art in North America by Jayne Wark; Persuasion and Propaganda: Monuments and the Eighteenth-Century British Empire by Joan Coutu; From Drawing to Visual Culture: A History of Art Education in Canada edited by Harold Pearse; Seduced by Modernity: The Photography of Margaret Watkins by Mary O'Connor and Katherine Tweedie; and Scissors, Paper, Stone: Expressions of Memory in Contemporary Photographic Art by Martha Langford.

Martha Langford is associate professor of art history at Concordia University, author of Suspended Conversations and Scissors, Paper, Stone, and editor of Image & Imagination. She is the founding director of the Canadian Mu­seum of Contemporary Photography.

Sandra Paikowsky is professor of art history at Concordia University and the co-founder and current publisher and managing editor of The Journal of Canadian Art History/Annales d’histoire de l’art canadien.
