Department of HistoryOur goal for academic year 2015-2016, as always, is to foster critical understanding of our collective past and to instill our passion and curiosity in future generations. Faculty in our department focus on a truly astounding array of questions. They study human interaction with the environment in pre-colonial India, early modern India and 20th century India; they tell us about shifting notions of death, debt and darkness; and they investigate the emergence and evolution of racism, inequality, and imperialism in the United States and across the globe. Our undergraduate students have gone on to amazing careers, as educators, lawyers, entrepreneurs, activists, journalists, and a host of other occupations. All of our students gain impressive skills in locating and analyzing complex documents and in expressing their ideas with eloquence and conviction. They become the engaged and informed citizens so vital to our future.The department cultivates critical understanding of the past while developing your intellectual, analytical, writing, and rhetorical abilities. We believe that the study of history enables you to acquire broadly informed perspectives and to master critical thinking and communication skills that will serve you outside the classroom and well beyond your college years.
