Overview of the Project:
I am requesting funds to support my travel to and participation in the 2022 annual conference of the College Art Association (CAA), which is the major conference in the field of art history. My paper “Can the Master’s Tools Be Remade?: Nour Ballout’s Queer Muslim Archive” has already been accepted to the panel "The Racialized Figure in Islamic Art and Visual Culture”. The funds will cover the costs of admission to the conference, a roundtrip train ticket, organizational membership, three nights in a hotel in Chicago, and the purchase of books related to my research and teaching at the book fair.
Final Report Fields
Project Objectives:

Present new research at the College Art Association Conference on a panel sponsored by the Historians of Islamic Art Association. Network with other scholars in the field and visit the book fair to purchase publications to support research and teaching. 

Project Achievements:

I presented the paper alongside artist Nour Ballout at CAA. The paper was well-received and there is a discussion about turning the panel into a publication. I also was able to purchase a number of books that will help support my future research and teaching which are intertwined. 

Continuation:
Yes. The books purchased will be used to support my teaching in the years to come. The paper I presented will be turned into a publication with the other papers on the panel.
Dissemination:
The chair of the panel was a UofM graduate student and the discussant was the chair of the History of Art department so the presentation of the work disseminated to colleagues at the conference. How the publications will be used in future classes will come through in program discussions as well as future syllabi reviewed by the program head/executive committee.
