Research Excellence

York is committed to excellence in research and scholarship in all its forms. Informed by a strong commitment to shared values, including the promotion of social justice, diversity, and the public good, we aspire through our research to better understand the human condition and the world around us and to employ the knowledge we gain in the service of society.

Current Research Projects

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Research within the Graduate Program in Art History and Visual Culture is determined by the proposed projects presented by successful aspirants. Our students complete a thesis and/or dissertation, which then becomes published as “Electronic Theses & Dissertations” and sits as a public document within our institutional repository – YorkSpace.
