Three Missouri State art history students have been chosen to present research at the 11th Annual Art History Symposium. The event will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on April 7 at the Springfield Art Museum.
Who will present at the symposium
The MSU students include:
- Paige Whitcomb, “Analyzing the Melun Diptych: An Examination of Jean Fouquet’s Style”
- Amanda Horned, “The Pink Project and the Application of Feminist and Gender Theory”
- Chaney Jewell, “Austrian Orientalism: Remaking the Schonbrunn Palace”
The speakers from Drury are:

How students are selected
Every year in the spring semester, MSU and Drury University each choose three advanced art history students to give 15- to 20-minute presentations on his or her research.
Faculty select student speakers from a group of competitive proposals. The faculty then guide the students in developing oral presentations for the symposium.
