Students work closely with faculty members experienced in directing research. Our students take a combination of theme seminars, which are organized around key areas of conceptual inquiry and encourage graduate students to explore these issues as they relate to their own areas and periods of interest; field seminars, which focus on the history and historiography of specific regions and periods; and research seminars, which help students develop their research skills and explore questions of scholarly interest. Students also take courses in other departments and programs, including but not limited to Appalachian Studies, Africana Studies, Gender & Women's Studies, Social Theory, and the Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce. What can a history major at UK do for you? History is the study of the most important and exciting events that have ever occurred. A History major provides a superb introduction to modern society, politics and global events. History provides rigorous instruction in critical thinking, writing and composition. History majors develop research and presentation skills that are highly transferable to any career. A BA in History can serve as a strong foundation for careers in Law, Government, Public Policy, Consulting, Education, Academia, Publishing, Research and Journalism. A History degree also complements a degree in International Studies, Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology or Geography. History is one of the broadest disciplines in academia: Historians at UK study everything from religion to literature, from disease to technology, and from slavery to revolutions. Historians at UK work in dozens of different countries on five different continents. History is consistently recognized as one of the best teaching departments at UK. Modern Jewish History The field of Modern Jewish History offers a wealth of possibilities for graduate study. Not limited by geographic boundaries and benefitting from a wide temporal scope, students of Modern Jewish History are able and encouraged to pursue a variety of topics, from the local to the transnational level. This field examines the major developments in modern Jewish history, including issues of nationality, citizenship, and emancipation and the contemporaneous developments of assimilation, integration, and the evolution and conflicts associated with hyphenated Jewish-national identities. These concepts of identity come into focus again during the turbulent 20th century, during such dramatic experiences as the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel. At the same time as receiving training in the Modern Jewish History field, students are also trained broadly in a variety of subfields, not restricted to Modern Europe, and are encouraged to engage with other Jewish Studies faculty. Faculty members in Modern Jewish History are pursuing research various aspects of this rich and complicated era, including Europe and North Africa, and in national, colonial, and transnational perspectives.
