The History Unit is situated within the School of Arts and Humanities. It engages in a wide range of research, temporally and geographically, from the Crusades and the Latin East to the Americas from the sixteenth to twentieth centuries, with strengths, too, in medieval and early modern European history, the history of technology in a global context, and nineteenth and twentieth century European studies.
