Our faculty and students work at the cutting edge of research in their fields and collaborate with colleagues across disciplines and around the world to address society’s greatest challenges. Our 20 areas of research, encapsulated by three areas of emphasis, focus on key historical themes, broad time periods and geographical segments.

The History department is actively engaged in many initiatives to support and encourage faculty and students beyond the classroom. From the newest project History +, a mentored summer research experience for Duke undergraduates, to one of the longest-run initiatives in the program, the Triangle Intellectual History Seminar, History at Duke has endless possibilities for research.
The History Hub will encompass many of the Duke History Department’s faculty & student-oriented and public-facing events, creating a more unified, comprehensive, and accessible schedule of programming, as well as a permanent and localized record of past events and guests.
