Janet Catherine Berlo
University of Rochester

In this informal lunch-time conversation Janet Berlo will explore issues that emerging scholars in art history and visual culture should consider as they seek to publish their first book. Berlo will use her recent experiences working with a university press on the publication of her last book as a case study.

Janet Catherine Berlo, professor of art history and visual and cultural studies emerita at the University of Rochester, holds a PhD in the history of art from Yale University.
