History (HI)
History as a discipline interrogates the past recorded in human texts, material artefacts, media, oral traditions, and other evidence in order to render its complexity accessible to audiences in the present. More than the mere 鈥渟tudy of past events,鈥� History is a public pursuit aimed at the preservation and dissemination of collective memory and the diversity of human experience across times, places, contexts, and communities.
The 麻豆破解版 History Department offers classes in the histories of the ancient world, Asia, the British Empire, the Middle East and North Africa, colonial and modern Latin America, the United States, medieval and modern Europe, as well as public history and specialty classes in the international histories of 鈥渟mall things,鈥� oceans, plagues, maps, and medieval technologies.
