Key Summary
History majors learn research techniques, sharpen their writing skills, and apply them to the study of Appalachian history, African-American history, American history, the history of cultures around the world, and the history of ideas. Small classes featuring group discussions help students hone their communication skills, preparing them for careers in business, law, education, government, communications, politics, multimedia, and more. Beyond the classroom, many students present their research at professional conferences and participate in the History Student Association or Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society.
UNC Asheville is founder and host of the African Americans in Western North Carolina & Southern Appalachia Conference, convened annually by Associate Professor of History Darin Waters. Scholars and community activists from around the region gather for presentations from a variety of disciplines—including sociology, history, anthropology, literature, and others. The goal of the conference is to provide an open forum for scholars to engage each other and our community on the vital issues facing Appalachian communities of color.
