History and Global Cultures

Faculty in Cal State East Bay's Department of History & Global Cultures are active scholars whose research spans the globe, from the ancient world to the present. Our historians bring particular strengths in twentieth-century U.S. history, alongside expertise in early American, European, Asian, Latin American, and global history. Their scholarship explores migration, empire, race and gender, environmental change, social movements, and public history. Our anthropologists investigate human cultures and societies across time and place, with expertise in archaeology, Indigenous communities and cultural heritage, human evolution, environmental anthropology, and language and identity. Across these fields, faculty engage in innovative research, community partnerships, and public scholarship while providing personalized mentorship to undergraduate and graduate students.
