Overview

As the only art history program dedicated to feminist study and its intersections, the Art History community at American University Washington DC is devoted to revisionist historical approaches that investigate a variety of human experiences in a global society. It is the collective endeavor to explore relationships between images, power, and identity in all dimensions, including gender, race, class, and sexuality.

Career

The DC area is the region with the highest salaries for Curators, Archivists, and Museum Technicians and Conservators, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2018).
