Focus and Scope

Description

The University of Toronto Art Journal publishes selected conference presentations from the Department of Art’s annual interdisciplinary graduate conference. The editorial body consists of graduate students in the Department of Art. Students involved with the editorial process and participating in the conference forfeit the possibility of their paper’s inclusion in the journal. The publication is produced by students with invaluable support from faculty and other student organizations.

Editor’s Note

2008 marks the inaugural publication of the University of Toronto Art Journal. Production of the journal would not have been possible if it was not for the support and participation of G.U.S.t.A. (Graduate Union of the Students of Art), the Department of Art, and those who provided advice and support including both faculty and graduate students.

The editorial committee would like to thank those who participated in this year’s graduate conference “Constructing Identities.” The quality of papers and presentations are a testament to the pursuit of academic excellence at the University of Toronto and other universities throughout North America. It editorial committee would also like to thank each writer for their participation in the journal and their unbridled dedication in making this publication come to fruition. At last, a special thank you to the editorial committee for your hours of hard work and enthusiasm.

The University of Toronto Art Journal serves to be an outlet for promising graduate students to publish their work. From English, to Anthropology, to Art History, the publication functions within an interdisciplinary framework reflecting the depth and abilities of young scholars in various faculties and institutions throughout North America. This publication stands as a great achievement for the Department of Art at the University of Toronto and to its students, many of which proved their commitment to this publication and to the continued success of the department.

We are delighted to present the first edition of the University of Toronto Art Journal.
