The Europe and Mediterranean World concentration enables students to delve into the interconnected histories of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, along with their global relationships. This program investigates the constant exchange of ideas, populations, and commodities throughout this vast region, spanning from ancient civilizations to contemporary times. Our studies analyze how empires, colonial systems, religious movements, cultural developments, environmental factors, and socioeconomic transformations—including the rise of capitalism and nation-states—have fundamentally influenced these interactions. Together, we explore more than five millennia of intertwined histories, investigating connections and conflicts driven by geography, commerce, warfare, migration, imperial ambitions, colonial oppression, minority communities, and liberation movements.
This academic focus involves rigorous examination of European, Russian, North African, and Middle Eastern histories, alongside imperial, colonial, and transnational studies that track evolving regional relationships. Key historical periods and thematic emphases encompass ancient and medieval eras, early modern maritime empires (1450-1800), modern imperial and colonial systems, and twentieth-century decolonization processes and postcolonial nations.
