History
Our historians are world-leading researchers teaching on their areas of expertise.
A growing, vibrant community of historians
Our growing community of over 40 academic staff, multiple post-doctoral researchers and many research students work together to demonstrate how History can help address contemporary dilemmas. Our research and teaching focuses on both global and local issues, from the medieval period to modern day. To learn more about our staff please visit our people page.
