“The mission of the Department of History and Civilization is to study European
history from the Renaissance to the present day, recognizing that
the issue of Europe’s frontiers over time remains an open subject, just as
the construction of the idea – or ideas – of Europe remains contested. It is
committed to seeing European History in a global perspective, i.e. to investigating
Europe’s history in relation to other regions and cultures of the
world.
The Department’s approach to the history of Europe is defined by intellectual
openness. It strongly encourages comparative and transnational
studies of cultural and economic trends, the history of social, political and
intellectual movements and traditions and a gender approach to history.
One of its main assets is that it is a place where different historiographical
and methodological approaches meet. It aims to capture the range, contradictions,
specificities, continuities and discontinuities that characterize
both Europe’s past and the study of that past.”
