Art history is a globally engaged discourse that aims to tell the stories of world arts, architectures,
and visual cultures from many perspectives. We celebrate the rich inheritance of our human differences
and seek to foster a scholarly
environment that emphasizes inclusivity, intellectual curiosity, and compassion.
Globally Engaged
Our students investigate humanity’s relationship to the world: how we perceive, participate in, and represent our physical, social, religious, philosophical, political, and artistic environments.
