The Director of the Power Institute, Professor Mark Ledbury, has been elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities, one of the highest humanities accolades in Australia.
We are very proud to announce that the Director of the Power Institute, Professor Mark Ledbury, has been appointed a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities, one of the highest humanities accolades in Australia.
The Academy is an independent organisation that, since 1969, has recognised the most important scholars of history, culture and society in Australia by electing them as Fellows. Mark has been elected for his research on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European art (especially French art), and his work on the interplay between theatre and visual art, genre definitions, and Enlightenment aesthetics.
More about Mark's scholarship is detailed on his University of Sydney profile page.
In being elected to the Academy, Mark joins a cohort of the most influential humanities scholars in Australia, including former Power Institute Directors Terry Smith, Roger Benjamin, John Clark and Virginia Spate, and his University of Sydney art history colleague Mark Roberts.
Congratulations Mark!
