Critical Perspectives on Art Gallery and Museum Audiences

A seminar co-hosted by the Department of Sociology and the Humanities Research Centre

Sociology and art history have traditionally approached Art Gallery and Museum audiences in different ways. This seminar aims to reflect upon the relationships between both sociological approaches and art historical research on audiences' experience by discussing possible crossdisciplinary theories and empirical studies.

Speakers:

• Mike Savage (Department of Sociology, York)
• Kate Nichols (Department of the History of Art, York)
• Henk Roose (Department of Sociology, Ghent University)
• Laurie Hanquinet (Department of Sociology, York)
