The connection between art, politics, and identity forms a central focus of departmental research. Studies examine how visual elements both represent and influence identity across personal, collective, and societal levels. Investigated periods span from the French Revolution to modern times, covering topics like the UK's formation, European fascism's emergence, American Civil Rights struggles, and Cold War/Vietnam War eras. This research may analyze artistic contributions to political discourse or study visual media reflecting political environments. Equally significant is how image interpretations evolve through political shifts, cultural borrowing, or strategic reuse.
