Outreach
Our department is proud of the vital and expansive role we’ve had in the community and in media. It would be impossible to list every community group or media outlet to which we have spoken or by which we’ve been interviewed, but we have communicated to and educated the Houston community, and in fact, the world, in ways that no other academic endeavor really can. We can speak to the crucial issues facing society of war and peace, race relations, religious strife, environmental issues, and virtually every other topic.
History department faculty have been interviewed by or written op-ed pieces for, among others, The New York Times, NPR, CNN, BBC, U.S. News & World Report, The Washington Post, The Financial Times, The Guardian (London), The Economist, The Independent (London), National Zeitung (Munich), Al-Jazeera, Christian Science Monitor, The Houston Chronicle, National Geographic, The Smithsonian, ABCNEWS.com, Palestine Chronicle, Pakistan Times, Arabia.com, Islamic News Network, La Prensa (Managua), El Diario Hoy (San Salvador), History News Network, all major television affiliates, all local radio stations as well as many national stations, newspapers in most major cities, and countless other media.
