Trace the past. Shape tomorrow.
Is History for you?
Ever wondered, “How did we get here?” Historians do. They uncover the stories of all people—both marginalized and powerful—and explore how and why things change over time.
At SFU’s Department of History, students engage with all aspects of human activity, including politics, war, sexuality, social movements, religion, science, work, and more. Studying history provides essential tools for understanding today’s complex world.
