World History is becoming increasingly international as a field of study. However, this globalization of faculty and institutions requires more than just a shift in the geography of meetings and authorship. It also raises issues of inclusion and exclusivity as well as a need to revisit questions of theory, methods, and ethics in the publication of global histories. This article seeks to look at the domestic origins of World History as a field within the United States and to raise questions about the globalization of the field as it matures.
