Images of faculty on TV
The Department of History's faculty do not limit themselves to classrooms, monographs, or research journals.  They frequently share their expertise with wider audiences, and find themselves in demand for commentary and interviews on television, presentations in policy-related forums, and public lectures and discussions.  The list below is a selection of our faculty's video appearances in recent years.  Want to learn more about any number of historical issues from our own professors?  Click on any entry to watch.
