Inaugurated in 2004, the Bettman Lecture Series is an annual program of monthly lectures in art history sponsored by the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. The Bettman Lecture Series is coordinated by two graduate students, and are designed to foster community and intellectual engagement within the department. 

Professor Itohan Osayimwese gave a lecture earlier this month as a part of this series titled “The Diaspora of African Architectural Objects.”

Professor Margaret Graves will be speaking on April 28 at 612 Schermerhorn Hall. Her talk is titled, “Fabricating and Liquidating Middle Eastern Ceramics: Shadows, Silences, and Insistent Materiality.”
