History

ASU’s Department of History, after 50 years as a separate unit, was reborn on 1 July 2009 as the Faculty of History in the School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. While the name and association with the Faculty of Philosophy and the Faculty of Religous Studies is new, the current Faculty of History is mostly the same as its predecessor.

Thus, the Faculty of History maintains the former Department’s commitment to excellence in history education and scholarship.  Besides the administrative and name change, this new configuration provides additional opportunities to enhance History’s strikingly broad connections to other units, involving numerous topics and various methodologies.  The creation of the School of Historical, Philosohical, and Religious Studies gives History new partners with whom to develop areas of cooperation.
