Mapping the work of historians reveals the enormous breadth of a diverse discipline. This presentation draws from a series of qualitative interviews with fifty historians working in thirteen Australian universities where they discussed their approaches to evidence, philosophy and theory in the contemporary university classroom. The historians’ discussions were marked by philosophical and ontological shifts that highlighted the multiple ways for thinking about boundaries and territories within the history classroom. At a practical level, historians are encouraging students to reconsider spatial perspective of everything from the micro stories of local community to the global dimensions of meta-data.  They are asked to rethink the body, re-imagine emotions, consider human rights in a global world, and to stretch the parameters of time and place. These are bound up with the contemporary global debates of transnationalism and the posthuman world. Students of history are exploring these ideas through newly accessible (and ever-expanding) digital databases and tools. The digital transformation is, in itself, reshaping the spaces and possibilities of the discipline. The boundaries of history are being stretched and the disciplinary gates swung wide. √
