The FSU Department of Art History, which is one of the oldest and highest ranked programs in the Southeast and the first in Florida to offer a doctoral degree, boasts one of the largest faculty of art and architectural historians south of Virginia and east of Texas. Eighteen faculty members teach in the fields of Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque, Modern, and and Pre-Columbian art and architectural history, with an additional array of courses offered in museum studies. The size of our department allows us to offer the best of both worlds: small classes and a wide variety of course offerings. We typically teach twelve graduate seminars each year in addition to a broad range of lecture courses with graduate tutorial sections.

Illustrated American and the Lakota Ghost Dance
Illustrated American and the Lakota Ghost Dance
The ceremonial dance contemporary reporters dubbed the ghost dance has inspired shelves of books and hundreds of articles, both popular and scholarly. Called the spirit dance by the Lakota, it was part of a revivalist and millennialist movement sweeping through Native American tribes in the West in the late 1880s and early 1890s. As such, it remains cemented in the country's collective consciousness by its association with the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890, that inglorious symbol for both the end of the Indian wars and the failure of governmental and reformist policies., Note: Copyright in this article is held by Ohio State University Press., Citation: Karen A.

Thinking in 3D
Thinking in 3D
Thinking in 3D: Utilizing the Future to Reimagine the Past, was curated in response to conversations surrounding the newfound responsibility museums and digital humanities centers have to digitally preserve objects in their collections. Featuring 3D printed objects and artifact replicas from the fields of Classics, Archaeology, and Art History, Thinking in 3D utilizes 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies to explore the capabilities of these tools for research, education, and entertainment. In contrast to traditional exhibitions, the audience is invited to directly interact with the objects on display — engaging with the items in a way traditional museums often cannot allow. With mounting pressure for these institutions to digitally preserve and ultimately repatriate objects in their care, this exhibition aims to provide viewers with a broad understanding of the applications of 3D digital technologies in museum spaces and beyond. As museums and cultural heritage centers respond to shifting political, economic, and social environments, these institutions must begin to consider the necessity and importance of incorporating digital technologies within their exhibitions and public programs. Ultimately, Thinking in 3D: Utilizing the Future to Reimagine the Past examines the potential promise of using 3D digital technologies for audience engagement, research, and education while additionally considering the ethical and social challenges of adopting these technologies, both now, and in the future., Digital cultural heritage, Digital humanities, Immersive scholarship, 3D modeling, 3D printing
