The History Department sees its mission as one of enabling students to make sense of the world that they are inheriting. In order to do this, they must be grounded in their own historical experience, which should be placed within an emerging international context. In addition, our students should recognize the ongoing tensions over the nature of identity: ethnic, racial, national, and global. To this end, we hope to develop ways to analyze issues that confront them as citizens of communities, nations, and the world. Our students should expect to confront issues of social responsibility, human rights and dignity, and their role in supporting and encouraging social justice.
