Women's and gender history is a strong and flourishing field at UNC-Chapel Hill. The field is broadly defined, intersects with the interests of a large number of faculty members, and is thoroughly integrated into the culture of the department. It is also structured to provide students with many choices and a great deal of flexibility. Our distinguished and diverse faculty offers a wide range of regularly taught courses that afford students the opportunity to study the history of women and gender around the world and add depth and perspective to the curricula of all history graduate students, regardless of their main fields of study. Courses focus on transnational or global perspectives and encompass South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, medieval, early modern, and modern Europe, and the United States, including specialized study of Native Americans, African Americans, and the American South.Graduate students at UNC-CH work within one of the department's major fields such as women's and gender history, European history, or Latin American history. Students interested in women and gender have two options: Students may choose women's and gender history as their major field. Courses and comprehensive examinations will help students who select this option to build expertise in global and theoretical approaches to women's and gender history, as well as in a conventionally defined field, such as U.S. history. For more information see the Graduate Student Handbook. Students may work primarily within another major field (such as African or U.S. history) but emphasize women's and gender history within it (by taking women's and gender history as your 'second field, or by taking a segment of your comprehensive examinations specifically on women's and gender history).
