Similar to the field of historical studies, our department originated with a focus on European history, which continues to be one of our fundamental strengths. Our faculty's specialized knowledge in European history covers its entire timeline - from antiquity and the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and contemporary periods - as well as its vast geographic scope, ranging from the British Isles to Southern Europe and from Western Europe to Eastern territories. We excel in exploring key themes such as gender studies, cultural identity, religious traditions (particularly Jewish and Christian), imperial and national histories, the impact of warfare, population movements, frontier regions, and cross-border cultural exchanges.
