Resources + Research

The Office of Intercultural Student Engagement promotes cultural awareness, dialogue, and interaction while serving as a hands-on resource for specific RISD communities. Primary target communities include students of color; international students; students identifying within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning (LGBTQ) spectrum; religious and/or spiritual students; and those dedicated to inclusive community.

The office provides leadership in the areas of student success, retention programs, campus education, and immigration compliance. The office works closely with RISD’s faculty, staff, and administrators. As a resource, it advises students on social, cultural, and personal matters, financial aid issues, and academic procedures. It assists in student and leadership development through supporting and advising student cultural groups.

The Office of Intercultural Student Engagement assists the RISD community-at-large in shaping a culturally inclusive and supportive environment that enables all its members the opportunity to fully contribute to and benefit from the total RISD experience. The Office coordinates enriching social and academic opportunities for cultural awareness, dialogue, and understanding. The office services the needs of the total RISD community while providing specific support to RISD’s students of color, marginalized populations, and those interested in multi-cultural work.

What are the resources for incorporating health and safety in the classroom?

RISD’s Environmental Health + Safety Department’s mission is to develop and implement programs that will ensure RISD’s compliance with regulations. RISD has set the goal of becoming a world-class leader of EH&S issues in the arts. To become recognized as such, our programs and facilities must become models for environmental stewardship. The administration supports, and all at RISD should embrace, the concept of protecting our environment and ensuring safe working conditions. Alan Cantara (401-454-6780)

Artists with PhDs: On the New Doctoral Degree in Studio Art James Elkins

Sample Ph.D. programs in Studio Art:

Burren College of Art PhD Program

Full-Time Programme (4 years)
A Full Time PhD is taken at Burren College of Art, with each student having their own dedicated studio space at the college and use of other campus facilities including the library and labs for 12 months each year. Students also have use of the National University of Ireland, Galway library and student facilities, located an hour away on the Galway campus.Part-Time Programme (6 years)
A Part Time PhD student is required to have their own studio space away from BCA and to attend BCA for some supervision sessions and group events. Supervision also takes place via Skype and by email.

Hybrid (Part-Time with Full-Time Periods of Study) Programme
The Hybrid programme is of variable duration depending on a student’s capacity for taking Full Time periods of study. A Hybrid student registers as a Part Time student and takes some Full Time study. The maximum duration is 6 years, and this period may be reduced by taking Full Time study to a minimum of 4 years. It is strongly recommended that students spend as much of the first year on the BCA campus as possible. Students are required to have their own studio away from BCA when in Part Time mode and to attend BCA for some supervision sessions and group events. Supervision also takes place via Skype and by email. Hybrid students will be provided with dedicated studio space at BCA when in Full Time mode.

University of California San Diego PhD Program

The Department of Visual Arts offers a PhD in art history, theory, and criticism with specializations in any of the cultural areas in which faculty do research (see below) and also a PhD in art history, theory, and criticism with a concentration in art practice, for artists whose work engages in art historical and cultural research. Offering a distinct alternative to other PhD programs in art history, our program centers on a unique curriculum that treats the study of art past and present—including fine art, new media, and mass culture—as part of a broad inquiry into the practices, objects, and discourses that constitute the art world, even as it encourages examination of the larger frameworks—historical, cultural, social, intellectual, and theoretical—within which the category “art” has been contextualized in the most recent developments in the discipline.

This program is also distinctive in that it is housed within a department that has been for many years one of the nation’s leading centers of art practice and graduate education in studio, media, and—most recently—digital media. The offering of the PhD and MFA is based on the department’s foundational premise that the production of art and the critical, theoretical, and historical reflection upon it inherently and necessarily participate in a single discursive community. This close integration of art history and art practice is reflected in the inclusion of a concentration in art practice within the PhD in art history, theory, and criticism.

The innovative character of this program is most evident in a unique curricular structure that is broadly organized into three groups of seminars. The importance of critical theory to the field today is reflected in the seminars under the Theories/New Visions group, while the study of art in its concrete historical, social, and cultural contexts, across different cultures and media, is emphasized in time, place, and media specific seminars listed under Times/Terrains.

The program builds most distinctively on recent developments in the field in the seminars under the heading Categories/Constructs. These seminars address the core questions about artworks and practices that the department believes every doctoral student in art and media history, whatever his or her area of specialization, should engage. How is the category “art” itself produced, now and in the past, in the urbanized West and in other cultures, in the context of ever-changing technologies? How are artistic identities constructed across distinct epochs and societies, and with reference to categories such as gender and ethnicity? What are the circumstances and contexts (social, intellectual, institutional, and the like) within which art is both produced and disseminated? What are the alternative modes of engaging art objects and practices and what are the histories and theoretical assumptions of the specialized discourses used to describe and analyze them?

Seminars in the Categories/Constructs group are unique in the degree to which they foreground the self-critical turn in recent art and media history by making reflection upon the central concepts, constructs, categories, and languages of art historical inquiry a key programmatic concern. They are also distinctive in that they are designed to cut across traditional categories of history and contemporaneity, art and media (film, video, photography, digital media), history and theory, and to promote cross-cultural inquiry insofar as they center on questions crucial to the study of art of diverse cultures as well as diverse art forms and historical epochs.
