Curatorial departments in the Harvard Art Museums offers opportunities for part-time employment. Many students serve as curatorial assistants, and assist in gallery exhibits, as well as assisting the public in gaining access to collections and conducting research on objects in the collections. These positions are administered by the Museum. Formal application for internships in the Harvard Art Museums is usually in April.

This talk explores how, in the wake of the world’s first international financial crisis, Cupid claimed pride of place in French eighteenth-century art—personifying not only the folly of love, but also the forces of inconstancy, mutability and flightiness that were viewed as hallmarks of a modernizing credit economy.

The Faculty in the Department of History of Art and Architecture has decided to adopt and implement a consistent practice in preparing letters of recommendation for graduate Pre-doctoral and Postdoctoral fellowship competitions as well as internships and jobs. If you wish a faculty member to write letters for you, please send that person as soon as possible a list of all of the fellowships to which you will apply or seek departmental nomination. These may be divided into the Fall and Spring semesters of the given academic year. While some job...
The department judges satisfactory progress based on coursework, languages, and the general exam in the first two years; completing an approved dissertation prospectus, forming a dissertation committee and performance as a Teaching Fellow in years three and four; then completing research and annual chapters of the dissertation in the fifth year and beyond. Advisors' reports are used to discuss each case, in the sixth year and above, with the Dean of the Graduate School (...
GSAS guarantees teaching fellowships in the third and fourth years of graduate study equal to the current living stipend. Students must teach two sections, or fifths (fraction of the University rate for a full-time non-tenure-track teaching position), per term to satisfy this guarantee. Each fifth generally corresponds to teaching one section of a lecture course.
Although graduate students are not required to engage in teaching, it is considered to be a valuable part of the educational experience as well as a...
After the successful completion of the general examination, a topic and adviser for the dissertation should be chosen. Students should discuss potential topics with several faculty members before beginning. The final prospectus should be approved not later than 3 months (within the academic calendar -- September through May) of passing the general examinations in order to be considered to be making satisfactory progress toward the degree. This is the time when the Thesis Reader and Dissertation Proposal form should be completed and...
You should consult your adviser to form a prospectus committee of at least three members of the faculty (including the primary adviser). After meeting as a group with the candidate, committee members should provide extensive written comments on the proposal to the student within one month of receiving it. Ideally, the prospectus would be done well in advance of submitting a grant nomination proposal so that suggested revisions may be incorporated into that document. A draft of the entire prospectus should be submitted with the...
The GE will be taken no later than the sixth term in residence, typically May or earlier as a G3. The exams should take place during reading period of the spring term, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on consecutive days (no weekends or holidays). Exams will take place not later than May of the spring term, G3. Exceptions will only be considered by the DGS, in close consultation with the thesis supervisor, and must be approved by the faculty during a Departmental meeting and will only be granted for extraordinary circumstances. The...
All third-year students in residence are expected to present to their peers and the faculty a short (20-minute) presentation on the research project that they hope will form the basis of their dissertation. These presentations will be scheduled across two or three sessions in October, with four or five students presenting per session. We hope that students will use this opportunity to support their contemporaneous efforts on the fellowship application front.
