Teaching Learning & Research
The Teaching, Learning and Research Members' Group (formerly the Universities and Colleges group) represents the interests of AAH members involved in teaching, learning and research of art history and visual culture in further and higher education.
The Teaching, Learning and Research Members' Group actively involves itself in current issues affecting those involved in teaching and studying art history and visual culture at a tertiary level.
HAAD Subject Benchmark Statement
The Quality Assurance Agency has asked the Association of Art Historians and the Art, Design and Media Subject Centre to co-ordinate the updating of the History of Art, Architecture and Design Benchmark statement. A committee met on 18 April 2007 to consider changes and ammendments to the statement. Input and comments from the broader community were invited by Professor Evelyn Welch. The ammended benchmark will then be put out for further consultation over the summer by the QAA.
