Welcome
A careful study of the past helps us better understand the present. History as an academic and professional discipline continually looks for the best ways to help us understand times, people, and places very different from our own. The links on the left explain our program and provide information about the department. Check this page periodically for announcements and news of interest to history majors.

Phil Alpha Theta Peer Advising for History Majors Hello Fellow History Majors and Minors, Have you wanted to talk to your fellow History students about classes and the faculty teaching them for the Fall 2012 semester? To ask about what to expect or what the professors are like? Well here is you chance to do so! April 26th @ 3:30-5:00pm in LCH A-348! Come by during that time when available to talk about anything you have questions about; PAT members will be available to answer your questions. No faculty will be present, so students may ask any questions they may have in a relaxed atmosphere. Seniors in the program have offered this service to new transfer students in the past and it has proven to be very helpful. We in PAT are willing to help and answer as much as we can. Robin Hunt CSUDH Tournées Festival of French Films, April 2012 CSU Dominguez Hills was one of only 86 institutions nationwide selected by the nonprofit FACE through a grant process to host a Tournées Festival for the 2011-2012 academic year. FACE created the Tournées Festival in 1995 to expose more U.S. students to contemporary French-made films. With the theme “History, Politics and Cultural Diversity via the French lens,” the 2012 Tournées Festival of French Films at CSU Dominguez Hills will explore the multiplicity of people’s experiences around the world, thereby bringing a better understanding of the diverse cultures that call the Los Angeles region home. “Using these French films as a lens allows us to really tap into that power of our, Los Angeles’s, cultural diversity, as well as the challenges we face,” said history professor and festival organizer Laura Talamante. “Part of what I liked with some of the films we selected is we get to explore some issues in the Middle East. ‘Persepolis’ and especially ‘The Wedding Song’ really are going to let us see inside those cultures and experiences and see there is a range of responses to political change, to religious and cultural practices. Dear Students, The advisor, Dr. Christopher Monty, for the History Education Option has organized an opportunity for history students interested in a career in teaching to meet with two of our recent alumni who are currently finishing the two-year post-baccalaureate Teacher Credential program here at CSUDH. Students enrolled in the History Education Option are strongly urged to attend. Kirk Baughman and Eric Barnett will be available Monday, March 12, in Welch Hall A 139 from 3-4 pm to discuss their experiences in the Teacher Ed program and to answer questions from current history majors concerning credential program application processes, first-year course work, the student teaching experience, and a host of other issues. The meeting will take place in Welch Hall A 139 this next Monday, March 12, 3-4pm! Please contact Dr. Christopher Monty at 310243.3469 or via email at cmonty@csudh.edu if you have any question.
