History Faculty

The ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø Department of History faculty is a community of diverse, internationally recognized scholars, each of whom is engaged in original research.

As faculty at a Jesuit Catholic university, we believe deeply that we have something to contribute to larger global conversations and dialogs about the challenges we face as a city and nation. Our passion is reflected in everything we do — from the titles on our department's bookshelf to the courses we offer our SLU students.
