The teaching load will include four classes over three quarters of the academic year. These include art history courses that meet the distribution requirements in the Arts, Music, Drama Core Curriculum and may as needed also include one section of the seminar “Approaches to Art History” introducing art historical methods to students in the Masters Program in the Humanities.
