History is by its nature an encompassing discipline—our department includes specialists in modern Europe, modern China, modern India, the Caribbean, U.S. labor and business, U.S. foreign policy, American religion, and women’s history. We believe that depth and disciplinary excellence are the surest anchors for cross-disciplinary initiatives and other types of innovation. Our disciplinary strength is reflected in our record of successful, sustained research and publication. It is also evident in our thriving minors program, as well as our essential contributions to several concentrations in the Liberal Studies Major. |
