The Visiting Professorships


 





The Annual Visiting Professorship
Every year the Institute brings to Australia a distinguished academic who undertakes a lecture tour to all Institutional members across the country. From its foundation in 1987 until 2000 the AAIA Visiting Professorship was generously sponsored by Mr Sidney Londish.  Subsequently Mr Peter Burrows, who is a governor and a member of the Council of the AAIA agreed to become sole sponsor and he funded the 2001, 2002 and 2004 Visiting Professors.

Between 2005 and 2009 this programme will be sponsored by a group of Governors of the AAIA including: Mr Peter Burrows, Professor John Chalmers, Mr Michael Diamond, Mr Timothy Harding, Mrs Pauline Harding, Dr Robert Harper, Dr Monica Jackson and the late Professor J.A. Young. In addition money has also be committed to the Visiting Professorship by the Thyne Reid Foundation. The Institute thanks the sponsors for their generosity, commitment and support.

The 2009 Visiting Professor was to be Professor Nicholas Stampolides (Director of the Cycladic Art Museum, Athens). However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the tour has been cancelled. Contact your local representative for alternate functions.

The 2010 Visiting Professor will be Professor Robert Laffineur of the University of Liège, Belgium.

The John Atherton Young and Alexander Cambitoglou Professorial Research Fellow
Due to a generous bequest from an anonymous donor and matching sum given by the University of Sydney the AAIA has been able to establish a Professorial Research Fellowship enabling an eminent scholar to visit Australia for the period of at least three to four months.

The inaugural John Atherton Young and Alexander Cambitoglou Professorial Research Fellow will be Professor Jacques Perreault from the University of Montreal, whose six month visit will commence in February 2010.
