The Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture (HECAA) invite emerging scholars studying the art, architecture, and visual culture of the long eighteenth century (c. 1660-1830) around the globe to participate in a virtual showcase to promote their research. Each scholar will be given 3-5 minutes to present their work, followed by an open question and answer session.

We currently plan to hold our session in March or April 2026, in conjunction with presenters' schedules. Applications are due by Saturday, January 24 at midnight (EST).
PLEASE VISIT THE LINK BELOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT.

Direct any questions to Sarah Lund: hecaa.emergingscholarsrep@gmail.com

Eligibility:
- Emerging Scholars may be current graduate students (MAs or PhDs) and early career researchers who have received their PhDs in the past five years.
- Emerging Scholars may participate more than once with different projects, different aspects of the same project, or an “update” on how the project develops. However, we ask that presenters apply no more than once every three years to allow for as many individuals as possible to participate.
- Please note that you do not have to be a member of HECAA to apply to participate in the Emerging Scholars Showcase.
