Simon Gikandi, Robert Schirmer Professor of English and Humanities Council's Old Dominion Research Professor (2018-19) will deliver the second in the new series of Old Dominion Public Lectures on how the practice of art has come to be defined by anxieties about ownership, appropriation, and identification, often at odds with the universal claims made for the aesthetic experience for most of the modern period.
