Rutgers Art Review, a double-blind peer-reviewed journal of graduate research in art history, invites all current graduate students, as well as professionals who have completed their graduate degrees within the past year, to submit papers for its 43rd edition.
Papers may address all topics, geographies, and historical periods within the history of art and architecture, visual and material culture, art theory and criticism, archaeology, cultural heritage and preservation, digital and public humanities, museum studies, film, and photography. There is particularly interested in publishing research focused on underrepresented geographies and communities, utilizing interdisciplinary approaches, and submissions from disciplines beyond art history that center visual materials. Papers that comment on the state of the field, are historiographical in nature, or projects that incorporate digital humanities resources and approaches will also be considered. Digital humanities-focused papers should address important art historical questions with the help of digital tools. Of particular interest are digital projects that employ computational methods, mapping, networking, and/or 3D modeling to analyze and interpret art historical or archaeological materials.

Notably, the book argues that in certain periods, such as toward the end of the Old Kingdom, the veneration and mobilization of specific deceased individuals functioned as a means to subvert or counter royal authority.
