"Why It Might Be Better to Be a Generalist" was part of the panel The Art History Generalist: Challenges, Strategies and the Future of Teaching Art History
Kirstin Ringelberg, professor of art history in the Department of History & Geography, presented on Feb. 15, 2020, at the national flagship conference for art historians.
Ringelberg’s paper argued for the revolutionary possibilities available to art historians in their scholarship, their teaching and their ability to transform the discipline itself as well as the audience and contexts for art history from within generalist and teaching-focused positions and programs.
