QC History Alumni in Academia
Over the years, many Queens College graduates have gone on to careers as historians. They include some of the most prominent scholars of the post-World War II era.
Many were much like Queens College students today: children of immigrants, from working-class families, the first members of their families to attend college. Their record of achievement is extraordinary.
This list, compiled by Professor Joshua Freeman, is a work in progress. We welcome additional names of Queens College alumni historians.
