Open House for Courses on Cities & the Built Environment
As courses on the built environment multiply across the University, and there are more and more opportunities to study buildings, cities and material culture, sifting through the options can be confusing. Please join us for an open house designed to introduce students to faculty from a range of departments, all of whom teach about the built environment in some way. The goal here is clarity: faculty will introduce their courses and interests, talk with you about yours, and field any questions you might have.

RAVE: Max Koss
The Research in Art and Visual Evidence (RAVE) Workshop provides a forum for University of Chicago graduate students––and the occasional faculty or outside speaker––to present their works-in-progress whose research centers on art or any type of visual and material culture. RAVE provides visually-minded scholars from across the university with the opportunity to receive feedback from art historians, while also ensuring that art historians think broadly and experimentally about their projects.
VRC Launches New Collections
