The program is designed to encourage inquiry into various historical contexts, exploring themes such as power, identity, and change throughout different periods and geographies. Students will engage with primary sources, historical texts, and multimedia resources to gain a holistic view of history's impact on the present and future.

Throughout the course, students will follow a structured curriculum that includes introductory surveys, thematic courses, and specialized seminars focusing on particular regions or time periods.
