Committee Chair: Carla Yanni, SAH Second Vice President, Rutgers University-New Brunswick, USA
The Society of Architectural Historians invites SAH members to submit self-nominations to serve on the SAH CONNECTS Program and Advisory Committee. This committee will begin meeting in spring 2021.
The purpose of SAH CONNECTS is to allow for virtual sharing of scholarship, discussion of timely issues related to the history of the built environment, professional development workshops, book discussions, and other types of programs that will advance knowledge in the field of architectural history.
SAH encourages self-nominations from members whose intellectual and professional contributions are linked to diversity and inclusivity, thus bringing a multiplicity of voices to this committee. Members who study every time period and all aspects of the built environment, including landscape, urban history, heritage studies, and social justice as related to architecture, are welcome to apply.
The SAH second vice president, in consultation with the SAH Executive Committee, will select the committee members.
