CEU's Department of Historical Studies is a meeting place for scholars from different intellectual and academic backgrounds studying early modernities from the Renaissance to the late eighteenth century. Trans-cultural approaches to the early modern period are a common discernment of our faculty, and both students and researchers benefit from the combined expertise in the history of central, eastern, and southeastern Europe in their broader European and Mediterranean entanglements, of the three land empires (Romanov, Habsburg, and Ottoman), as well as of the social, cultural, religious, and polical interactions across the Eurasian space.
