Study Abroad with History Faculty

The History Department at Geneseo is committed to the study of global history.  Our curriculum stresses the importance of student engagement with issues of international importance and many faculty are engaged in teaching and research that explores global interactions and cross-cultural exchange.

This summer, the History Department supported two study abroad programs for Geneseo students.  Professor Tze-ki Hon and Professor Gene Stelzig (English Department) traveled with students for a four week Humanities II course in China.  Students spent much of the trip in Hong Kong, with a long excursion to Beijing and field trips to several sites of historical and cultural importance.

Professor Joe Cope and Professor Rob Doggett (English Department) also took students to Ireland for a four week interdisciplinary course on Irish Studies.  Students visited Galway, Dublin, and Derry, and had the opportunity to participate in the annual Yeats International Summer School based in Sligo.
