Our researchers have a strong track record in public history and heritage, growing out of our primary research in History and related disciplines. There are particular strengths in Labour and People's History, and the History of the Black Atlantic. We have supported many projects and commemorations in the region and beyond, in partnership with a variety of other institutions and community projects. Our historians research the history of the modern world, from the global to the local, to make sense of both the past and the present. We work across the University with colleagues who are focussed on finding answers to the big questions of how to design, create and use digital technologies for the benefit of people.
