历史:我们的学科

历史 is the study of the human past as it is constructed and interpreted with human artifacts, 书面证据, 口述传统. It requires empathy for historical actors, respect for interpretive debate, and the skillful use of an evolving set of practices and tools.

As an inquiry into human experience, 历史 demands that we consider the diversity of human experience across time and place.

作为公众的追求, 历史 requires effective communication to make the past accessible; it informs and preserves collective memory; it is essential to active citizenship.

作为一门学科, 历史 requires a deliberative stance towards the past; the sophisticated use of information, 证据, and argumentation; and the ability to identify and explain continuity and change over time. Its professional ethics and standards demand peer review, 引用, and acceptance of the provisional nature of knowledge.

We pride ourselves in the care we provide to our pupils both in the classroom and out. Small classes enable students to hone both their written and oral abilities and permit us to provide greater individual attention. While many in the 历史 faculty have received national and regional honors for their work, they are above all teachers and mentors, as 证据d by the recognition accorded to them for their work with students. The department features an innovative and rigorous curriculum designed to train students in historical methodology, 研究技能, 批判性思维. It regularly offers more than 50 undergraduate courses on a wide range of topics, including offerings in ancient Greece, 罗马, or India; the 历史 of the U.S., 中国, 拉丁美洲, and Europe; Native American 历史 and the 历史 of women; the 历史 of Buddhism, 犹太教, or Medieval Christian 历史; and 历史 methods.
