Untold Tales: Women Pioneers in British and Irish Architectural History

The Third Annual Mark Girouard Symposium, a two-day academic symposium titled 'Untold Tales: Women Pioneers in British and Irish Architectural History', held at the Courtauld's Vernon Square campus. Organised by Dr Kyle Leyden of the Courtauld, Dr Manolo Guerci of the University of Kent and Prof. Elizabeth McKellar, President of SAHGB, and supported by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and The Institute of Historic Building Conservation. It looks back to the earliest generations of women involved in writing and promoting architectural history from the nineteenth century onwards, as academics, curators, journalists, photographers, writers and in conservation and heritage spheres, since almost no accounts of female architectural historians exist alongside growing studies of female architects. Speakers include Dana Arnold, David Barber and Louise Campbell, among others.
