Art Bulletin
United States and Canadian Ph.D. Dissertations Guidelines for Submission
CAA publishes lists of Ph.D. dissertations in art history and visual studies from United States and Canadian institutions annually in the June issue of The Art Bulletin and on this website. We are now collecting information on 2007 dissertations for the June 2008 issue.
Note: These guidelines have changed since last year. Please read them with care. If you do not submit the documents correctly, we cannot guarantee publication.
- Please submit two complete, separate lists:
Dissertations Completed (between January 1 and December 31, 2007)
Dissertations in Progress (all current dissertations in progress) - Please send the lists as email attachments to: dissertations@collegeart.org
If you cannot do this, please contact Alexandra Gershuny, CAA Editorial Assistant, at 212-691-1051 ext.254 or dissertations@collegeart.org.
- Each list must be organized by subject area. The subject areas are listed below. Use only these subject areas. If a dissertation does not fit any of these areas, please make the best choice you can. You may place a dissertation in up to two subject areas.
- Within each subject area, the entries must be alphabetical by author’s surname. Please place first and last name in lowercase letters.
- Each entry must include the following information in the following form:
Last name of author, first name of author, “Title of Ph.D. Dissertation in Quotes” (Name of Institution, Advisor’s First Initial and Last Name) [notes concerning any accents or special diacritical marks]
Important: If an entry has special accents or diacritical marks that may be lost or scrambled in email, indicate these both in the entry and in square brackets at the end of the entry. E.g.:
Examples:
muan, ingrid, “Citing Angkor: The ‘Cambodian Arts’ in the Age of Restoration, 1918-2000” (Columbia, K. Moxey)
jones, elizabeth, “A Poststructuralist Analysis of Dürer’s Melencholia” (University of Chicago, B. Smith) [in the name Dürer, the “u” has an umlaut][in the name Cézanne the first “e” has an acute accent]
or
[in the name Dürer, the “u” has an umlaut]) - Use single spacing. Separate entries with one line space.
- In the subject line of your email, please write “Dissertation Listings.”
- The deadline is December 1, 2006. The lists should include the complete information for your art-history department or program.
- CAA cannot accept submissions from individual dissertation authors, only from department representatives. We cannot be responsible for typographic errors, late changes to titles, missing information, or other flaws in the data sent to us. Please read your lists carefully before sending them.
Thank you.
