We are excited to invite you to hear Erica Moiah James, Assoc Prof @univmiami.bsky.social present "Haptic Archives & the Critical Work of Tenderness in #GlobalCaribbeanArt" as part of the #ArtHistorySpeakerSeries @elonuniversity.bsky.social. Big thanks 🎉 to @kringelberg.bsky.social for organizing!

And hey y’all, three cheers for Dr. Ringelberg for their work mentoring these seniors and yeah, umm building art history 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉@elonuniversity.bsky.social! @kringelberg.bsky.social @elonuniversity.bsky.social

And last (but never, ever least) TRIPLE MAJOR 😮 (Art History, Classical Studies, and Religious Studies) SB Barnes presents "Escaping the Heteronormative: Utilizing the Gaze to Understand the Representation of Sexuality, Gender, and Bodies in Italian Baroque Artworks Depicting Religious Ecstasy."

Next up, Olivia Peterson presents "Piety, Politics, & Reverence: Peter Paul Rubens’s Joan of Arc (1620) and Portrait of Marie de Medici (1573-1642) as a Triumphant Queen (1625)". Peterson argues for engaging "Rubenesque" as an iconography (rather than a style) of power and political potency.

After a break, we're back with Ash Crouse (Art History and Classical Studies), presenting "Dirce, the Social Transgressor."

Our next presenter, Kelsey Golden, examines "The Art of Katherina Parr's and the Employment of Portraiture in the Tudor Court." Golden argues that Parr guided her step-daughter, and the future Queen Elizabeth, in using portraiture as a political tool.

Next up, Téa Jones presents "Your Body is a Battleground: An Exploration of Visual Activism in Response to Reproductive Violence & Femicide."

First up, Senior Art History & History Major (and Elon College Fellow) Lizzie Ostling presents on space and resistance in the 1970 Japan World Expo. #ARHSeniorSem

Come and join thisThursday to help pitch and plan some student events this semester! Lead by our PACE student, we hope to plan events that you all would like to attend and the best way to do that is to invite you into the behind-the-scenes of it all. Open to all students, whether in ARH or not!

Hey y'all, we're excited to reintroduce you to our Elon PACE Student Worker Madelyn Fourie! Madelyn is an second year English major who loves to read and travel! Come by and say hi next time you're in Powell House. @elonuniversity.bsky.social

Y'all! Get your libraries to pre-order this gem, co-edited by my @arthistoryelon.bsky.social crime sibling @eagatti.bsky.social!

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!

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. Read more ➡️ www.elon.edu/u/news/2025/...

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).

@arthistoryelon.bsky.social is seeking someone to teach ARH 2100: Art History of the Ancient World in 25-26 AY. If you are interested in working with my amazing colleagues (or have colleagues or students who might be), please reach out via email (www.elon.edu/u/directory/...). Review begins now!

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

Look out world, these wonderful humans have graduated. We are SO proud of them and we can’t wait to see what they do next! 🎉❤️⭐️ #LMTAH #LearnMore #TakeArtHistory @elonuniversity.bsky.social

More photos of Dr. Ringelberg @kringelberg.bsky.social from the symposium at the Wrightwood 659 for the opening of "The First Homosexuals: The Birth of a New Identity, 1869-1939." Wrightwood 659 is a new exhibition space dedicated to exhibitions of architecture and of socially engaged art.

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.

Museums are able to change lives because of the brilliant people working in and with them, and we're here to support you. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, take a look at our Wellbeing Hub for resources addressing topics from burnout to eco-anxiety 🌱 What would you like to see added to the hub?

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.”

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)
