Professor Michael Yonan has received a grant from the France-Berkeley Fund, a UC funding program to co-organize a conference at the University of Grenoble, France.  The purpose of the grant is to build bridges between UC Davis/UC Berkeley and universities in France.  

Working with Marlen Schneider, lecturer in modern art history, University of Grenoble, the conference’s subject will be “A Multifaceted Rococo / Un rococo multiforme.” The event will feature speakers from the United States, France, Switzerland, Germany, Portugal, Serbia, and Poland, and will take place on 21–22 September 2023 in Grenoble. The conference includes involvement from the Grenoble Museum of Art.
