Empire and Globalization

Historians at The University of Texas have established a prominent place in the study of empires and imperialism and are leading the profession’s current effort to write histories that transcend traditional national and regional boundaries.

University historians of empire and globalization engage in a high level of collaborative work and have staked out an advanced position in the new historiography of globalization. We support graduate study in British imperial history; global political economy; colonialism and decolonization in the Americas, Africa, and Eurasia; and imperial aspects of Spanish, U.S., Habsburg, Ottoman, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian history.
