The Department is delighted to announce the publication of Aglaya Glebova’s new book Aleksandr Rodchenko: Photography in the Time of Stalin.
From the Yale University Press website: Through the lens of Aleksandr Rodchenko’s photography, a new and provocative understanding emerges of the troubled relationship between technology, modernism, and state power in Stalin’s Soviet Union
We are very proud to celebrate (a bit belatedly) some of the recent fellowships, awards, and positions won by our graduate students over the course of last academic year–now supporting advanced training and innovative scholarship!

Professor Emerita Joanna G. Williams, distinguished scholar of South and Southeast Asian art, passed away at her home in Berkeley on June 16, 2022, at the age of eighty-four. She was one of the foremost scholars of South and Southeast Asian art and architecture and, indeed, one of the most well-regarded for her seminal work on fourth- and fifth-century sculpture and architecture as well as later folk traditions. Born in southern Indiana, Williams received a B.A. from Swarthmore College in 1960 and a M.A. from Radcliffe College in 1961. She then received a Ph.D.
