People
Meet the team in the Art History department.
We attract the very best talent, and our staff are both international and internationally recognised.
Our inspiring academics can give our students first-hand access to cutting-edge research and real-world knowledge to take with them after graduation.
February 2018: Every one of us is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Professor Suzy Butters, Professor of Art History from 1975 to 2008. She was an inspiration and will be sorely missed. If you would like to offer reminiscences, please click here.
