BlackArtLove Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Anyone applying for Art History grad programs with a focus on African American, African Diaspora art/visual culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kier Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I am! I’m interested in contemporary visual culture, photography, and performance. I’m looking at ma/phd programs at ga state, unc, ut austin, williams, northwestern, berkeley, and yale, maybe more, maybe less. I’m also looking at stony brook’s ma in philosophy and the arts. Ga state is my only safety lol. What about you? edit: forgot to add I’m interested in iu bloomington Edited May 7, 2019 by kier staxdo_21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering Yale, Duke, UCLA, UT Austin and Northwestern. Also perhaps Courtauld's MA program in curation. Do you plan on a career in academia or museums, just curious! staxdo_21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kier Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Sorry for such a late reply! I'm planning on going into academia, but I also want to curate exhibitions as part of my research. What about you? I have considered Harvard but for whatever reason it doesn't excite me like other programs. Idk why because I really enjoy Sarah Lewis's work. Also I'm just very unsure about applying to top programs, especially coming out of undergrad from a state school. But I'm going to do it anyway and let the schools decide lol. I'm also considering Rutgers for Nicole Fleetwood, who's in their American Studies department now but is being promoted to a professor in American Studies and Art History. And I've added Duke to my list since my first post. There's so many exciting scholars at different schools that I want to work with but I can't apply to all of them lol!

kier Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Just to update anyone reading this topic, I’ve decided to apply to mostly black studies programs now. Many of the faculty I want to work with are in those departments in addition to art history departments. Edited July 24, 2019 by kier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
