Eastern and Southeastern Europe
Students may choose as a field East-Central Europe from 1700 to the present. It covers the political, economic, social, and cultural history of the Habsburg Monarchy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Besides working up the general field, students may pursue their particular interests in a given country or region and in topics such as nationalism.
Students may also choose as a field Southeastern Eruope from 1350 to the present. It covers the political, economic, social, and cultural history of Romania, the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania, and the Ottoman Empire in Europe. Besides working up the field as a whole, since it is a broad field, students, in consultation with the faculty, may refine it to suit their interests in a particular people, region, or time period.
