The history graduate program emphasizes scholarship that balances specific focus with broad perspective. Faculty members guide students toward developing a panoramic view of history, fostering an expansive comprehension of past events. During their studies, students acquire essential skills for pioneering historical research. Dynamic academic communities within and beyond the department promote cross-disciplinary dialogue among faculty, peers, and visiting scholars. Dedicated faculty advisors monitor each student's progress while providing hands-on guidance throughout dissertation research and writing. The department's strong emphasis on career preparation helps students evolve into skilled historians and educators. Princeton's East Asian history specialization concentrates on Japanese and Chinese history, with particular expertise in medieval, late imperial, and modern periods. Numerous faculty hold joint appointments with East Asian Studies, facilitating collaboration between both departments. Research interests span diverse areas including science and technology history, Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges, educational systems, material culture, social structures, religious studies, and labor history.
