Delayed recognition for a job well done!

Our current PhD Students have been busy pursuing research, making progress in their degree, and contributing meaningfully to the field, despite the disruptions of the past year.

This event was of interest to anyone who has ever been asked (or who have asked themselves): what can I do with a PhD in Art History and Archaeology?

Over the course of the fall, several exciting art events will be offered, including the Laboratory for Suburbia's first "Sprawl Session; "A Transitory Space," an exhibit of artwork by WUSTL MFA students with critical essays by WUSTL Art History and Archaeology graduate students; and Hostile Terrain 94, a multi-sited interactive memorial to the migrants who have been lost while crossing the southern U.S. border

The inaugural newsletter for the Department of Art History and Archaeology was published in August 2020.
