Greetings to Alumni, Students, Faculty, Staff, Supporters, and Partners,
All years have their challenges, but we are living in unprecedented times here in History of Art at UC Berkeley. That said, our department's ability to remain focused on our mission and responsive to dynamic conditions has been nothing short of inspirational.
Please peruse our annual newsletter to understand what I mean. Across these pages you will find much to inspire. New exhibitions, new programming, new books, new courses, and new grants that "meet this moment," often by learning from the lessons of past moments.
We remain committed to crafting globally relevant art histories, even as we seek to propel globally relevant art futures.
Our thanks to all members of History of Art's local, national, and international community. It is a privilege to be in service to all of you, and we are ever grateful for your support and energy as we stay the course.
Fiat Lux,
Shannon Jackson
Chair, History of Art
