Empathy and science

A symposium dedicated to Professor Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf

10.9 2010

Stockholm

In 2010, Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf will retire, after several decades at the Department of Art History at Stockholm University – where she has been a professor since 1998. We want to celebrate Margaretha with a symposium where friends and colleagues will talk on various aspects of art from their own professional vantage points.

As a researcher and lecturer Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf is characterised by her curiosity, open-mindedness and scope. She has written about subjects ranging from the Parthenon Frieze, via Poussin and Bernini, to several contemporary artists. We want to celebrate Margaretha with a symposium where friends and colleagues will talk on various aspects of art from their own professional vantage points.
