Art history studies world cultures and their expressions
in the visual arts. Students are encouraged to explore artworks as documents
of particular times, places, societies, and individuals. Small classes allow
for lively discussion and individual attention.
With a major in art history, you'll find opportunities in community education,
private collections, preservation agencies, and libraries. The major in
art history may also lead to graduate study in the field or in related
field such as archeology, museum studies or conservation. With a graduate
degree, you may begin a career in teaching, conservation, or museum work.

Research Statement:
Art history has been a love of mine since childhood and I make a point of seeing as much original art that I can. I pride myself in being non-elitist and for keeping an open mind about many forms of visual expression. At EMU I teach a range of courses on the undergraduate and graduate levels, including the Art History Surveys, Renaissance Art, Nineteenth-Century Art, and several classes in Modern and Post-Modern Art. In addition, I have been active in the University’s Studies Abroad program and have taught students in France, Italy, Spain, Greece, and England. Since 2001 I have curated or co-curated seven exhibitions on campus, including shows devoted to World War II propaganda, comic and cartoon art, and pinball machines. The most recent show, held in January and February 2008, focused on Alfred E. Neuman, known as the mascot of MAD magazine, but a character with roots in eighteenth and nineteenth-century caricatures.. For my sabbatical in Fall 2008, I will be working on an exhibition of works by Michigan cartoonists and comic creators along with SPEED BUMP creator, Dave Coverly. Faculty Work:
