US and Canadian PhD Dissertations
PhD dissertation authors and titles in art history and visual studies are published each year in caa.reviews and archived in JSTOR. Prior year dissertations were listed annually in the June issue of The Art Bulletin. We are now collecting information on 2008 dissertations for publication in 2009.
Titles are submitted once a year by each institution granting the PhD in art history and/or visual studies. Submissions are not accepted from individuals, who should contact their department chair or secretary for more information. Department chairs: please consult our dissertation submission guidelines for instructions. Deadline: December 1 each year.
In 2003, CAA revised the categories of art history and visual studies used for all our listings, including dissertations.
