We are one of the first Art History departments in the UK to pursue feminist studies, issues of class and inequality, and visual studies of difference.  Going hand in hand with our academic focus on diversity, our Department aims to create a supportive, open-minded and welcoming environment that reflects our values. History of Art have an active and passionate Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Board with representatives from across the staff and student communities. We are keen to learn from our students, our alumni and our staff, and we welcome your ideas and suggestions on how to make the department more inclusive.

“We have chosen banner images across our website that reflect the diversity of the Art History teaching and research that can be found at UCL.Throughout our equality, diversity and inclusion pages, our staff and students have provided some short explanations about why that image was chosen for the page.

If you have encountered, or been subject to, an instance of sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia or prejudice against your religious belief; or if you have been discriminated against on the basis of your disability or sexual, ethnic or social identity, please contact the department inclusion leads. Bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct are never okay. All UCL students and staff can report instances of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct anonymously, or with their contact details, using Report and Support:
