SELECT FACULTY HONORS

The History Department is a center of high-quality research. Our faculty have made national and international names for themselves, as indicated by this snapshot of grants, fellowships, and prizes. As a recent external review of the department noted, "This record of national and international recognition confirms the widespread recognition of Stony Brook's history faculty as in the very top tier. This record of scholarship has not come at the cost of their teaching." For information on individual faculty, see the directory.
