Scholars in this field work in such diverse areas as diplomatic history, political history, social history, labor history, slavery and migration, and the history of the Atlantic world. The field is particularly strong in the areas of 20th century U.S. diplomatic and domestic history (with four specialists), and the history of early America (with three specialists).
