The ASA Rocky Mountain Division is pleased to announce keynote speakers for the 2022 Meeting in Santa Fe, NM:

Greg Currie was educated at the London School of Economics and the University of California, Berkeley. He has taught at universities in Australia, Italy, New Zealand and the United States and now teaches at the University of York, UK. He is a fellow of the British Academy, a past president of the Australian Academy of Humanities, a past fellow of St John's College, Oxford and a life member of Clare Hall, Cambridge. He has written a number of essays and books on topics concerning the arts and the mind. His latest book is Imagining and Knowing: the shape of fiction, Oxford University Press, 2020. He hopes (rather than believes) he will complete a book entitled The Agency in Art quite soon. He is also working on the problem of how to develop a quite general theory of irony of all kinds.

Anya Montiel is a curator at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. Previously, she was a curator at the Renwick Gallery and an assistant professor of art history at the University of Arizona. She received her MA and PhD in American Studies from Yale University and her BA in Native American Studies and anthropology from the University of California at Davis. She has written for American Indian magazine, Art in America, First American Art Magazine, and the Oxford Handbook of American Indian History as well as exhibition essays for Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Heard Museum, the Hood Museum of Art, and the Renwick Gallery.

The meeting will be held at the Drury Plaza Hotel July 15-17, 2022. The deadline for submission of abstracts will be March 15, 2022. When the Call for Abstracts is available, it will be widely publicized.
