Issue 4 of K&NQ marks the first full year of the bulletin! We hope that you have found it useful as a resource not just for information, but for inspiration and connection as well. In the field of Canadian art studies there continues to be a wealth of dynamic and forward thinking work that encompasses pressing issues in research and pedagogy. This issue highlights new published research, online projects, and the many generative conversations taking place right now and into the new year.
The Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowsky Institute for Studies in Canadian Art brings together people who are passionate about the visual arts in all of their diversity. Knowledge and Networks Quarterly was conceived as a connective and generative way to share new research and pedagogy. More than a bulletin, we hope this acts as a switchboard connecting people to one another, to new ideas, and to exciting possibilities.

NEW ISSUES

In 2021 the Gail and Stephen A. Jarislowskly Institute for Studies in Canadian Art funded MA student Wanessa Cardoso de Sousa, a trained architect from Brazil, to do a pan-Canadian research project on the variety of library design in this country. Based on her exciting findings, the project conceived of a user-friendly website that geolocates the 337 libraries studied. Canadian Library Architecture includes libraries representing all provinces and territories and ranging from large, civic libraries, historic Carnegie libraries, new and old university libraries, to small, recent, community-initiated spaces.
The website also situates the data through Wanessa's writing, which focuses on 5 libraries in particular, providing context for the project as well as a model for how the website might be used by students and other researchers. The typologies include purpose-built and retrofitted spaces, as well as small-scale community library initiatives and former libraries. In addition to writing, there is a 60-image slide presentation that can be shared and adapted for research and teaching.

Each year the Institute supports projects that advance the study of Canadian art under its research axes of: ethnocultural art history; Indigenous art history; materialities; networked art history; photographic studies; settler-colonial art history; urban art history; and women’s art history. Projects can be viewed on the website here. Do you have a project that fits within these research axes?
