Richmond Graduate Student Presents at Student Research Conference

On 30 May 2007, Richmond graduate student Jennifer Henneman presented her thesis research at the 10th Annual Iron Age Research Student Seminar in Southampton. Jennifer represented the art historical discipline amongst a group of archaeologists when speaking about Late Iron Age torcs, or neckrings, dated at roughly 75 BCE from East Anglia, England. Focusing on the formulation of intercultural art histories, a primary concern of the Richmond MA program, she is developing a suitable approach to ancient Celtic art objects based on recent social anthropological theorizations of the function of art within non-Western societies as well as on recent indigenous religious studies of ‘animism.’
