Oral Contemporaries: Kunstgeschichte greifbar nah

Abstract

Honest, diverse, perhaps even surprising – Oral Contemporaries offers insights into the professional fields of alumnae and alumni of art history at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The different career paths paint a current, practice-oriented picture of art history as a dynamic and interdisciplinary field. First-hand accounts provide students with valuable insights that help them make their own decisions and set priorities. Art history at KIT builds on a long tradition and influential role models. It is a productive environment in which students can follow in established footsteps, but also forge their own paths. The individual perspectives collected in this book clearly show how the transition from university to the professional world can be successful – and how diverse the positions art historians can take are.
