全球历史哲学博士

全球历史强调研究超越地区，国家甚至任何单一文明的过程。这些过程包括殖民主义和帝国主义，民族主义，国际关系，环境，宗教，意识形态，劳动，移民/散居，工业化，和平与战争，科学技术，奴隶制，妇女/性别，商业/贸易，大众文化和人口统计。从事全球历史的人们试图从行星的，跨国的角度看待这些以及相关的发展，以从既定的地区和国家历史的有利角度将历史洞察力应用于各种民族和文化。进入该领域的学生将参加两个基础研讨会，介绍主要作品，同时定义主要的研究主题领域。顾问的选择以及硕士和博士学位研究的重点将反映该主题领域。由于全球历史
Global history emphasizes the study of processes that transcend regions, nations, and even any single civilization. These processes include colonialism and imperialism, nationalism, international relations, environment, religion, ideologies, labor, migration/diaspora, industrialization, peace and war, science and technology, slavery, women/gender, commerce/trade, popular culture, and demography. Those doing global history attempt to see these and related developments from a planetary, transnational perspective, applying historical insights to diverse peoples and cultures in ways not possible from the vantage point of established regional and national history. Students entering the field take two foundational seminars introducing major works while at the same time defining a primary thematic area of research. The choice of adviser and the focus of MA and PhD research will reflect that thematic area. Because global history involves studying processes that have an impact beyond a single nation or region, students may take courses with faculty specializing in several different areas. Aside from the courses available in the History Department, students may find useful offerings in other departments at this university and at Duke University and North Carolina State University.
