Faculty

In addition to the study of New Orleans, the UNO history faculty has a strong record of both publishing and teaching in a number of fields, including U.S. History, European history, urban and women’s history, imperialism, race and race relations, the history of the South, diplomatic and military history, and oral history.
Members of the history faculty also direct three research centers — the Midlo Center for New Orleans Studies, the Eisenhower Center for American Studies, founded by the late Steven Ambrose, and Center Austria — which attract visiting scholars both nationally and internationally. The department has also partnered with the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University to create the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank, funded in part by the Sloan Foundation.
