The History of Art and Architecture department is strongly committed to excellence in research. We also promote inclusive teaching and curatorial practices in order to foster collaboration, diversity, and expanding our interdisciplinary presence and public outreach. These efforts grow out of our innovative Constellations program that brings faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates together in collaborative research endeavors. Results have included impactful publications, digital humanities and pedagogical projects, exhibitions, and other outcomes that equip our students with a broad array of skills and extend beyond our department to engage the larger academic and community public.
