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.
