      abstract = {What is socially engaged art history? Art history is  typically understood as a discipline in which academics  produce scholarship for consumption by other academics.  Today however, an increasing number of art historians are  seeking to broaden their understanding of art historical  praxis and look beyond the academy and towards socially  engaged art history. This is the first book-length study to  focus on these growing and significant trends. It presents  various arguments for the social, pedagogical, and  scholarly benefits of alternative, community-engaged,  public-facing, applied, and socially engaged art history.  The international line up of contributors includes  academics, museum and gallery curators as well as arts  workers. The first two sections of the book look at  socially engaged art history from theoretical, pedagogical,  and contextual perspectives. The concluding part offers a  range of provocative case studies that highlight the varied  and rigorous work that is being done in this area and  provide a variety of inspiring models. Taken together the  chapters in this book provide much-needed disciplinary  recognition to socially engaged art history, while also  serving as a springboard to further theoretical and  practical work.},
