Art History @ Elon

My colleague @eagatti.bsky.social has been having a busy summer with her research in Italy and just presented at the Leeds IMC! Art + Science on multiple levels!

Dr. Gatti was at the Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare in Vercelli and presented research w/ @videntesmsi.bsky.social in Leeds @imc-leeds.bsky.social on "Modeling Manuscript Bindings for Teaching and 3D Consultation" [including material from ARH3707 Art+Science!] @eagatti.bsky.social

Ringelberg presents at two conferences and an exhibition symposium Art History Professor Kirstin Ringelberg shared their research on gender, sexuality and art history at venues in New York, Chicago, and Dijon, France.

It's summer and @elonuniversity.bsky.social Art History faculty are doing cool things! In June Professor Kirstin Ringelberg @kringelberg.bsky.social shared their research on gender, sexuality and art history at venues in New York, Chicago, and Dijon, France.

Come join the team! This adjuncting situation is open only because (sob) we're losing the great @blairapgar.bsky.social to a "real" job (lucky school to get them on a permanent basis).

Faculty & Staff Profile

Hey, here’s some news! (This has been true for a while, by the way.) The opportunities are even greater when you choose a “smaller” but serious program like ours. Mentoring matters, especially when you have access to those mentors! #LMTAH #LearnMore #TakeArtHistory #ArtHistorySky

Moving all my junk out of my office in Powell House is bittersweet.

I LOVED being a part of this weird lil program--so lucky to spend so much time here with amazing students and colleagues.

We are so proud of Professor Kirstin Ringelberg @kringelberg.bsky.social who recently presented at “The First Homosexuals” symposium held at Wrightwood 659 Chicago. The symposium was the opening event for a groundbreaking exhibition that illustrates the emergence of “homosexual” as a new identity.

MACHINE YEARNING Sonja Drimmer critically examines art historians’ recent embrace of generative AI as a tool for humanities research.

In Artforum’s April 2025 issue, @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social offers “a historical account of the language and the feelings used to frame [generative AI’s] imagined role in art-historical practice.”

Today is the @aaup.bsky.social National Day of Action for Higher Education. Find out what is happening on your campus, here is what is happening on ours.

A Black Curator Imagines Otherwise I almost lost my opportunity to curate the show I'd come to moCa Cleveland to create. But these times are different and I'm unlike anyone to ever work there.

We are super excited that @artstuffmatters.bsky.social will be joining Dr. Ringelberg's #MuseumsAreNotNeutral class this week via Zoom to talk about #ImagineOtherwise and other kick-ass curatorial work Autry has been up to! hyperallergic.com/639570/a-bla...

Happy #FDOC. Let's do this thing. #PowellHouse @elonuniversity.bsky.social #ElonCollege

#WinterStormBlair is also publishing new research: maes.unibo.it/article/view...

This comes from a deleted PhD chapter that I'm very, very happy to have found a home for!

Took my Imagined Spaces course to walk the Labyrinth on campus. Made them contemplate their fates in below freezing weather.

Senior seminar presentations today @arthistoryelon.bsky.social -- first up is Paige Frielander and her paper 'The "True"
Heads of Household in Domestic Spaces: The "Gender Acts" of Interior Agency, Duty, Sacrifice, and Pride"

Grant writing! Art history skills like attention to detail, writing for super specific audiences, and working collaboratively are all really valuable here

Just one example of the amazing work @blairapgar.bsky.social has been doing with our students!! @elonuniversity.bsky.social #DigitalArtHistory

Woo! We are super excited to share the schedule for the #ARHSeniorSem presentations! @elonuniversity.bsky.social #ArtHistory

I'm in the process of putting together a follow-up zine. What sort of (unexpected) jobs/careers are possible for art history majors? (excluding the obvious ones: Curators, Gallerists, Archivists)
