The study of history plays a central and formative role in the liberal arts. Offering new perspectives both on the past and the ongoing influences the past has on the present, the discipline of history introduces new ways of thinking, develops analytical capacities, and encourages excellence in writing. Our department at Trinity offers opportunities to explore aspects of the histories of Africa, the Ancient World, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and the United States; and students are invited to cast a wide net even if, in the end, they focus on one particular region. Classes encourage close work with individual professors, who are, in addition to their devoted work in the classroom, active scholars contributing to the growth of knowledge in their fields. We are enormously proud of both our students and our alumni who have gone on to careers in law, teaching, medicine, and business as well as social work, writing, the ministry, and public service.

Welcome to Dr. Kenneth Loiselle, who will be teaching European history beginning in the Fall, 2008 semester. View his new home page under "Faculty."
