Program Overview
- Program Description:
- In Fall 1998, the University of Texas at Arlington implemented a Ph.D. program in History that focuses on the study of the interrelations and interactions between and among Europe, Africa, and the Americas. This History Ph.D. program is called "Transatlantic History." The program is comparative and "transnational," that is, it crosses what today are national boundaries. By its nature, this innovative program about the history of peoples bordering the Atlantic Ocean is cross-cultural and nontraditional. The program asks students to look at historical facts in new ways, to discover the interactions and interrelations between peoples and cultures around the Atlantic Rim. Students will study a wide array of historical developments that, over time, have contributed to the making of the interconnected world community we live in today. Currently (Fall 1999), twenty-seven (27) students are enrolled in the program.
