The study of social and economic history from late antiquity to the 21st century focuses on how societies around the world have organized their material and everyday life and their social institutions. Applying methods from the humanities and the social sciences, faculty members study themes as wide-ranging as urban history, comparative social systems, the family, economic development, comparative empires, migration, and labor history, from micro to macro levels and in border-crossing perspective.
