The 2015 Pro-seminar in the Master of Visual Studies is a public series of lectures revolving around the methodology of Fieldwork, presenting artists, architects, curators, researchers, and historians that critically think through spatial concepts of conflict where the public and private overlap as fields under tension and compression. The series includes talks and workshops with Eyal Weizman, Trevor Paglen, Laura Kurgan, Anna-Sophie Springer, and Hillel Schwartz. The series is moderated by Charles Stankievech, assistant professor of Visual Studies at the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design, University of Toronto
