The Third Mark Girouard Symposium at The Courtauld Institute, London. 14 November 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Convenors: Elizabeth McKellar (SAHGB), Manolo Guerci (University of Kent), Kyle Leyden (Courtauld Institute)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This third symposium in memory of Mark Girouard looks at women\u2019s contributions to architectural history in Britain and Ireland. There have been a growing number of studies of female architects over the past twenty years but almost no accounts of female architectural historians. One exception is Dana Arnold\u2019s edited collection Women and Architectural History: The Monstrous Regiment Then and Now<\/em> (2025) which involved women operating from the 1970s onwards. This symposium looks back further to the earliest generations involved in the writing and promotion of architectural history in a wide range of spheres. We are interested in women who were involved in the subject as academics, curators, journalists, photographers, writers and in the conservation and heritage spheres from the nineteenth century onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadline: 26 June 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
