The Department of History and Classical Studies includes 39 full-time faculty members with particular strengths in Canadian history, British and European history, East Asian history, the history of medicine, the history of science, and newer fields such as the history of gender and sexuality, the history of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, and global history. Our involvement in research adds immediacy and excitement to our training.
In addition to research by individual scholars, the department is home to a number of major collaborative research projects, all of which also include students. Among these are The Montreal History Group; The Indian Ocean World Centre (IOWC); Quelques arpents de neige, an environmental history group; and the French Atlantic History Group. We have been very successful in placing our graduates in academic posts.
