History

 

Clark’s history faculty are known for extensive work in the fields of U.S. and European history, and have expertise in Holocaust and genocide studies, Jewish history, African American history, and women’s studies. In their research, they ask questions about war and identity, and about politicians and poets. They also consider the history of individual nations and social groups while following the movements of people and ideas across literal and metaphorical boundaries.
