Asian Art Research

Asian Art Research (AAR) is located in the School of Culture and Communication (SCC), Faculty of Arts, The University of Melbourne. It seeks to raise the profile of Asian art studies within and beyond the SCC from the periphery to a new centre.

AAR aims to promote scholarly enquiry across disciplinary boundaries, unite interests around new centres, cultivate appreciation of diversity within and beyond the University, and normalise engagement with Asian art and culture. As a platform for disseminating research and promoting academic exchange, AAR represents a hub of activity and intersection for art history and Asia studies.

AAR is comprised academics and students from across various programs, universities and institutions.

These programs include Art History and Art Curatorship and Arts and Cultural Management in the School of Culture and Communication (SCC), and other programs in SCC, Asia Institute, Centre of Visual Art, Grimwade Centre for Materials Conservation, Melbourne School of Design, Melbourne Graduate School of Education, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, as well as colleagues working in universities and institutions across Australia and internationally.
