New Hires in History not limited by Borders

The Department of History at the University of Notre Dame studies humanity’s diverse traditions and how they have changed over time to prepare for the challenges of the world today and tomorrow. Ranked among the top 20 programs in the nation, the University has recently increased faculty investment in areas such as Latin American and modern European history, as well as emerging areas of strength such as early American history, and is focusing on research not limited by national boundaries, including disease, migration, religious belief, and the environment.

“History at Notre Dame is committed to excellence and this new video highlights four of our rising stars who are at the forefront of scholarship in their respective - and far flung - fields. We hope for nothing less than to be a model of what a department in the humanities can aspire to be. We are poised, I believe, for an extraordinary moment," said Department Chair Patrick Griffin, Madden-Hennebry Professor of History.
