Beyond teaching and research, our faculty are involved in numerous other activities. As a department, we have created the Summersell Center for the Study of the South, and participate in the College of Arts and Sciences Cuba Initiative with the University of Havana. Graduate students can attend workshops in European and American History, and The Southern Historian, an annual graduate journal, is published in-house. The Department of History offers a vibrant intellectual community in which to engage in graduate work.
