The UCSB program in Modern European History offers a comprehensive range of courses from the French Revolution to the present. Coverage includes major national histories - Britain, France, Germany and Russia/Soviet Union - and thematic courses with strong comparative and cultural dimensions. It blends traditional and non-traditional approaches to political, cultural, social, diplomatic and economic history, with emphasis on the history of radical movements of the left and right (the Russian Revolution, socialism/communism, fascism/nazism, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust), gender studies, public policy, and war and society. The graduate program provides an integrated combination of reading and research seminars and preparation for university teaching. Modern Europe faculty are core members of thematic clusters in gender studies, the history of the Cold War, the history of science, the Southern California Russian History Program and Jewish Studies. Members are also affiliated with Environmental Studies and East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies.
