Pitt, London Consortium To Hold Research Forum On 9/11 Aftermath

The University of Pittsburgh and the London Consortium—comprising the Architectural Association, Birkbeck College, the Institute for Contemporary Arts, and the Tate Gallery—will hold an international research forum in the U.K. titled Innocence, Terror, Public Policy: The September 11th Anniversary from Sept. 9 through 13 at Birkbeck College, University of London.

During the five-day seminar, organized jointly by Pitt’s Graduate Program for Cultural Studies and the London Consortium’s graduate program, Pitt faculty and graduate students will present papers and exchange views with academics and graduate students from U.K. universities on the impact of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon one year later.

Workshop participants will address U.S. and international responses to 9/11, examining ways in which it redefined existing knowledge systems in many areas of public discourse.

Mellon Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory in History of Art and Architecture; Ronald A. T. Judy, professor of English; Eric O. Clarke, associate professor and director of graduate studies in English; Adam Lowenstein, assistant professor of English and film studies; Anustup Basu, Mellon Predoctoral Fellow in English; April Eisman, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of History of Art and Architecture; and Richard Purcell, a Ph.D. candidate in English.
