2007-2008 Faculty Updates
The Department of History routinely adds new faculty, and like most others, we also experience occasional faculty leaves or departures, which can affect the plans of graduate students. Each year, therefore, the Department provides up-to-date information on faculty changes for the coming academic year. You may also wish to check the faculty webpage for information of current faculty.
Will be updated regularly. Check back for further updates.
