Miwon Kwon, PhD, Chair

 

The Department of Art History endorses an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to art history of all periods and places. By thinking across current categories and boundaries and even critically interrogating art history itself, students are encouraged to question the canon, rethink the relationship between margins and centers, and practice a socially and politically responsible art history.

The rich and varied art resources available at UCLA and throughout Southern California offer students extraordinary opportunities to supplement the formal curriculum.
