Doctor of Philosphy in History- Europe (Modern) in Providence United States | Brown University

Currently, the History Department employs seven modern European historians who are actively involved in research and graduate education. While acknowledging the ongoing importance of nation states, the European faculty embraces varied thematic approaches and methodologies. Students can pursue studies in British, French, German, Eastern European, Russian, and Soviet history, with additional focus areas including genocide studies, Holocaust research, intellectual and cultural history, science history, digital methodologies, Jewish studies, minority histories, Cold War studies, science-politics relations, and modernist aesthetics. A defining feature of the modern European graduate program is its adaptable structure, supported by faculty-student collaborative workshops. The program promotes cross-border and interdisciplinary dissertation work while ensuring comprehensive foundational training for new students.
