 About the Department of History


The Department of History has over forty faculty members teaching about every era and area of human history. With over 1,000 undergraduate history majors and serving large numbers of non-majors in both upper and lower-division courses, the History Department is one of the largest departments in the humanities or social sciences at Arizona State University. The graduate program includes over 100 students in North American, European. Latin American and Asian History. The department actively supports programs such as the Preparing Future Faculty program for graduate students and Phi Alpha Theta, the History Honors Society.

The History Department houses H-AmIndian, an edited online discussion list devoted to the history and culture of indigenous peoples from the North Pole to Mexico, as well as Frontiers: A Journal of Women's Studies, one of the oldest and most respected academic feminist journals in the United States.

Faculty members are involved in a number of sponsored research projects, including "Learning History by Doing History," funded by a Teaching American History Grant from the U.S. Department of Education, "The Challenges of Transhumanism: Religion, Science and Technology," sponsored by the Templeton Research Lectures for Constructive Engagement of Science and Religion, and "Nature, Culture and History at the Grand Canyon," funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities Interpreting America's Historic Places grant.
