We are committed to creating a diverse, just, and inclusive department, university, and field. Our ongoing efforts are spearheaded by the departmental Committee for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ), but are integrated into all department committees and initiatives.
In addition to the resources included below, the department sponsors a DEIJ reading group to discuss recent anti-racist work in art history, brings speakers to campus that expand our range of expertise into new areas, and seeks to actively expand and support our faculty to enhance its diversity.
All faculty, staff, and students in the department are invited to contact a DEIJ Committee member or the Department Chair with any concerns, ideas, or suggestions.
The department's Code of Care is a living document that espouses our aspirations for the culture of our department. We strive to make our communal spaces places where care is shown to all members of our community.
We invite reflection on the land, resources, and displaced peoples of Ohio, and we strongly encourage department members and visiting speakers to offer land acknowledgments.
In 2020 our department shared a statement in solidarity with all in our community fighting for an equitable, just, and anti-racist society. We strive to shift our departmental culture and engage in meaningful conversations, research, and actions.
Once per semester, the DEIJ Committee hosts a reading group in which committee members and other students, staff, and faculty from the Department discuss a book chapter or article relevant to the goals and values of the committee.
