Critiquing and interpreting the nation’s past for solutions to our future– one source at a time

History is the study of past human experiences grounded on the conviction that these share an essential continuity with our present and future. Through the careful reading of documents and historical interpretations, students are trained to see themselves and their world as entities proceeding in time and formed by what has gone before.

The Department of History, as part of the School of Social Sciences, aims to produce transformative leaders who will work towards inclusive societal and human development. Through a combination of rigorous research, creative teaching and inclusive service learning, the Department of History hopes to form students who are trained to see themselves as connected to an increasingly global world, yet deeply rooted in our nation and culture.
