Affiliate
Faculty
We encourage
students to add an interdisciplinary dimension to their
studies in history. Affiliate faculty teach historically
informed courses in other departments of the university
which may, with departmental approval, be substituted for
some degree requirements. These faculty are also available
to serve as second readers on graduate committees.
