The Department of History at St. Jerome 's shares a common commitment to enhance the knowledge and understanding of the human past. Our approach to the study of history focuses on people, nations, landscapes, ideas, events, politics, religion and social constructs such as race, gender, class and ethnicity. Through the study of history we seek to stimulate students' intellectual curiosity, critical thought, and analysis, doing this in a collegial setting in which professors and students maintain a relationship based on mutual respect. We seek to acquaint our students with the major ideas and forces that have shaped our civilizations, develop the ability to think critically, clearly and creatively and to make a contribution to living a full life.
