Kingsley, Cindy Persinger, and Rosemarie Trentinella, the volume draws on its contributors' decades of experience across diverse types of public and private institutions-from R-1 universities to liberal arts colleges as well as a medical school and military academy. Chapters share successes and failures, strategies for securing and maintaining institutional support, analysis of art history's distinctive contributions to skill and professional development as well as of the discipline's broader value as a social good. Together, the chapters present a nuanced picture of the current moment, in which art history's perceived vulnerabilities intersect with (and serve) broader narratives about the humanities and higher education's supposed failures-complexities the book examines and largely counters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapturing a broad spectrum of contemporary art historical advocacy, 'Advocating for Art History' argues that the discipline's future depends on art historians actively participating in shaping their institutions' priorities, making their work visible across a variety of stakeholders both within and beyond the academy, and building collective momentum. Above all, it aims to spark reflection and essential conversations about the discipline's future, and champions the potential for positive action. It is an essential resource for anyone invested in sustaining the humanities in higher education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer P.
