Research advise to the Rubenianum.

This project is the foundation of the collaboration between the Rubenianum and the University of Antwerp. Toward that end, it enables Abigail Newman to work as Research Adviser at the Rubenianum – alongside her position as part time instructor (with a ZAP statute) at the University of Antwerp – in order to pursue a number of scholarly initiatives. First and foremost, she is carrying out the editing – both the selection of contributions and the substantive editing – of a thematic volume on artistic collaboration in the Low Countries in the 16th and 17th centuries. She is also responsible for writing the introduction to this volume. In addition, she organizes various programs at the Rubenianum aimed at the sharing of research currently underway, including an inter-university Rubenianum Works-in-Progress Workshop (the first edition of which was held on 20.2.2020; the second edition is scheduled for 19.6.2020) as well as research presentations by and for researchers based at the Rubenianum. She is also involved in the planning of summer courses. More broadly, she advises on the Rubenianum's development of research-related projects and initiatives. In that capacity, she oversees the monthly Visiting Researchers' meeting, presently with a group of five international researchers (from five different countries). She also serves as their contact person and internal supervisor.
