Ph.D. in African History at UC Davis 2004-05
Ph.D. in African History at the University of California,
Davis.
The History Department of the University of California,
Davis, invites applications for the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy with a focus on Africa for the academic year
2005-06.
The History Department admits a select pool of graduate
student candidates for the degree and is now in its second
year of offering a doctoral program focusing on Africa. The
successful candidate(s) would participate in general
graduate classes in history as well as tutorial and graduate
classes in African history. There will be opportunities to
serve as a teaching assistant for the two Africanist faculty
members.
Students will study and write under the supervision of
Professors Cynthia Brantley and Benjamin Lawrance, and can
anticipate that they will proceed to conduct independent
research in Africa. Candidates will also benefit from the
experience and guidance of the many faculty in the History
Department at UC Davis, take advantage of the rich expertise
of Africanist faculty at UC Davis and the emerging African
Studies designated emphasis within the African American and
African Studies Program, and the large pool of African
historians in the University of California system. Foreign
language training assistance may be available. Applications
are particularly welcomed from candidates from diverse
backgrounds, whose research interests intersect with those
of current faculty, particularly applied research models
that incorporate or relate to the history of colonialism and
contemporary development trends.
For further information please direct questions to Professor
Cynthia Brantley <clbrantley@ucdavis.edu> or to the History
Department Graduate Program Coordinator Heidi Williams
