Sewanee's history professors boast remarkably different purviews, with concentrations in the history of women, medieval Europe, Russia and the Far East, the Middle East, Southern Africa, Latin America and the colonization of the New World, 19th- and 20th-century pop culture, politics and military, African Americans in America, and economics and society during and after the Reconstruction, among others.
Professor Julie Berebitsky uses current events as a springboard for comments on sexual harassment in Forbes, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and on the CounterSpin radio show.
Each semester members of the Department of History offer a section of History 100, a “core requirement” that all Sewanee students must complete (unless they are participating in the four-semester Humanities Program) in order to graduate. Most students take this course during the first year.
Professor Harold Goldberg has published Europe in Flames, a selection of the Military History Series at Stackpole Press.
