Master of Arts in Social History of Art

Program Overview

The MA Social History of Art will equip you with a deep subject knowledge of the history of artistic practices in the broadest sense, grounded in fundamental questions about why this study matters in the world today. You’ll build the research, analytical, critical and communication skills to succeed in a variety of careers.

The emphasis of the course is on social and political approaches to art history, whether looking at the most recent and contemporary, or in the study of the deeper roots of the cultures we inhabit. From Medieval and Renaissance art to live practices now, from the study of our most local environments to the arts of Africa, Asia and beyond, we approach art as central to the production and reproduction of our shared and different social worlds.

Building on over 70 years of teaching in the field of art history, we have an international reputation for innovative, critically engaged and globally conscious approaches to the discipline. This course has well-established strengths in areas including:

  • feminist and gender studies
  • the relations between art and capitalism
  • the legacies and critiques of colonialism
  • Jewish studies
  • climate and environment.
