The position of associate professor of Art Research is located in the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies, and its research and teaching are focused particularly on the degree programme in Art History and Art Education. At the University of Jyväskylä, art history research and education cover a wide range of historical phenomena in art, contemporary art and visual culture, and themes in the cultural environment. Issues in art history are examined in their cultural contexts and as part of interconnected social, ideological, religious, philosophical, economic and political structures of meaning. Research and education emphasise both basic research in art history and multidisciplinary research linked to the university's research networks and communities. Research and education in art education focus on questions of art theory and contemporary aesthetics, art as an activity in different contexts, aesthetic practices in art, everyday life and environment, questions of art pedagogy and arts-based methods. Ambitious theoretical openings feed on the study of topical cultural phenomena, aiming at novel understanding of the significance of the arts and aesthetic values for a good life and society. The multidisciplinary field has strong networks both within and outside the university.
