Bar graph in purple and green, showing career stage of grant recipients, according to institutional affiliation.
Although it's less relevant for the programs that you treated, we also looked at seniority. Many of the Harvard awardees in the group were predocs and recent postdocs, who eventually went on to be employed elsewhere.
Map of United States that shows the affiliation locations of art history scholar grant recipients, with blue dots of varying size and intensity. Note concentration in California and New York.
We'd be very happy talk to you!
Our study also identified 8 art history cold spots in the United States. No scholars affiliated with institutions in Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, or Wyoming were ever awarded by the 4 programs that we looked at.
There's an interactive set of visualizations, hosted by the Association for Research Institutes in Art History (ARIAH), but they are only viewable on desktop (sorry!):
www.ariah.info/news-opportu...
We also reconciled all of the institutions with Wikidata, for consistency, and published the institutional affiliation dataset for reuse and reproducibility, so that this data can be compared across fellowships and fields: openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/articles/10....
Eight bar charts which show awarded scholar counts by institution, including Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Berkeley, UT Austin, Pittsburgh, Emory, and UCSB.
Amazing work. With @qwesterby.bsky.social + Lidia Ferrara, we did the same for art history fellowships. Smaller total (~4000), but similar results: Harvard,Yale,Columbia,Berkeley at top. Also tracked by decade, which showed smaller schools on an upward funding trajectory: Emory, SantaBarbara, Pitt.
Job posting: Assoc Dir for Interpretation, Learning & Public Programs @ Smithsonian Nat'l Museum of Asian Art. Closes 03/16; Salary: $143,913-$158,306. Onsite, Washington, DC.
I love this! Thanks for sharing!
Great to see the Guerilla Girls back @gettymuseum.bsky.social today!
It also feels like a movie trailer.
Thank you for hosting us so generously! It was a lovely escape from CAA! Can’t wait to see your upcoming exhibition about printing on cloth!
Thank you for this terrific article - I will now deploy the terms derived, enhanced and aggregated to think about the various modalities of the datasets that I am wrestling with!
I totally bombed this one
Too bad that you can't join us at this event but I hope you can come see the exhibition! It's up until April 12, 2026 and full of amazing insights from the Guerrilla Girls archive.

Because it’s back in the news I am reposting this 🧵 about Pantone’s 2025 color of the year.

No comment on the 2026 pick Cloud Dancer.

Thank you for reading!!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for slogging through the long bits about coins and their details! Painful but (I hope) worth it!
Thank you!!! Let me know what the students think!
It deploys textual, archaeological & numismatic evidence to make the case for tangible material entanglements between the Red Sea & colonial North America & to explore the obscured lives of those enslaved from Madagascar in the 1690s. MAP: indianoceanexchanges.com/coin/mvvmap....
NEW ARTICLE: Yemeni coins trace relations between pirates, merchants, and enslavers that traversed the North American, Arabian, & Madagascar coasts in the 1690s and shed light on colonial material exchange.
