The Cooper Union leadership decided to indefinitely postpone the opening of the exhibition “Vkhutemas: Laboratory of the Avant-garde, 1920-1930” - a few hours before the exhibition was scheduled to open. Neither the decision-making process nor the timeline going forward have been made public; little has been reported on this except for this short write-up in the Architect's Newspaper.

Call for Papers

Dear fellow medievalists,

The Medieval Academy of America has recently assembled an Ad Hoc Committee on Professional Diversity to support our medievalist colleagues working in contingent, unaffiliated, and academic-adjacent capacities. These scholars - growing in number - often struggle to continue their work as medievalists, and the Committee is charged with assessing their unmet needs and making recommendations to MAA leadership so we may all benefit from their continued participation in the field.
