From building a brand for your research to learning what academic hiring committees are really looking for, and from gaining insights about co-curation in GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) to using your research skills in the art market, develop your skills at our Professional Development Day.
The Association for Art History’s Doctoral and Early Career Researcher (DECR) Committee presents the 2026 online Professional Development Day.
The Professional Development Day offers professional advice, insights, and career development opportunities targeted at doctoral and early-career researchers, but open to all. This online event is aimed at individuals working within disciplines that intersect with art history in its broadest sense, including arts practices, curating and other cultural fields. This year’s programme includes a range of presenters who will generously and openly discuss their professional experiences and offer advice and guidance, while providing a space for honest conversations about some of the challenges faced by arts professionals. Themes include academic profile-building, how to stand out in academic interviews, collaborating with partners in the GLAM sector, and working in the art market.
