Research

The main focus of the Department’s research is on four chronological periods – Medieval, Early Modern, Modern British and European and Modern Wales – and  three thematic areas: Historiography, Technological, Scientific and Medical History, and Media History. In addition, the department maintains traditional strengths in, in the broadest terms, religious, political, cultural, social and economic history.

In terms of its research agenda, the Department aims to:

  • generate and disseminate new research,
  • transfer research knowledge and skills to all graduates,
  • support and find opportunity to develop collaborative activity, both within the Department and with partners in other universities in the UK and beyond,

 

In relation to these broad research aims the following pages illustrate the department’s research activity:

The research of members of the department can be found under their individual pages - Staff Research

The work of postgraduates and postgraduate provision can be found at Postgraduate Studies in History

Members of the department combine to work in centres:

We also run or are involved in major research projects. Present examples are described at Departmental Research Projects.
