About Us

AHGSA formed in the Fall of 2006 to support the continued growth of the M.A. and Ph.D programs in Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Representing diverse academic interests and backgrounds, AHGSA provides a forum for students to address administrative issues and share in scholarly research and pedagogical development. During the Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 semesters, AHGSA organized a Works In Progress (WIP) series for the presentation of student work and the facilitation of ideas, a professional development series -- which included keys to successful abstract writing -- on-campus social and recreational events, and trips to local and regional museums.

AHGSA is planning to continue these events for the Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 semesters, as well as introducing a number of others, including screenings of art historical films and the first annual graduate symposium in Art History.
