 | Profile |  |
The Faculty of Arts at The University of Queensland has a long and rich tradition of scholarship, and is one of Australia's leading faculties for teaching and research in the humanities. The Faculty of Arts has identified as areas where it has, and wishes to consolidate, internationally competitive research strength:
- Cultural and Media Studies, including Cultural Theory, Television and Film Studies, and New Media Cultures; and Australian Visual and Print Cultures
- Cultural and Intellectual History, including the History of Religion; the History of Sexuality; the History of Governance, Ideology, and Policy; the History of Political Thought, and Australian and Pacific Cultural History
- Literary Studies, including Australian and Postcolonial Literature and Drama and the study of National Literatures
The Faculty is developing new research strengths in:
- Music Education
- Digital approaches to and resources for the study of History
The Faculty of Arts is central to the University's role of providing a broad, liberal education to the community, an integral element of the role of universities today. The Faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, research, research training and scholarship, service provision and community linkages.
The Faculty comprises four Schools, in what could be considered the core humanities disciplines:
- School of English, Media Studies and Art History
- School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics
- School of Languages and Comparative Cultural Studies
- School of Music
and the Arts program at Ipswich.
The Faculty supports two research centres, which serve to concentrate research endeavours and promote faculty, national, and international linkages in specialised fields:
- Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies
- Centre for the History of European Discourses
The Faculty incorporates the Institute of Modern Languages, which offers language classes to the community, and AustLit, a collaborative research program providing authoritative information on hundreds of thousands of creative and critical Australian literature works.
The Antiquities Museum, which provides the only comprehensive survey of ancient Mediterranean antiquities on public view in Queensland, is a part of the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics, and is used in the teaching and research of Classics and Ancient History.
