Centre for Economic History (QUCEH)
Description
Queen's University Centre for Economic History (QUCEH), an interdisciplinary research centre based at Queen's University Belfast, was founded in 2012 to address the growing concern that there is a lack of respect for the past in economics teaching and research today.
Hosted by Queen's Business School, the centre brings together faculty and graduate students working on the economic study of the past from across the university and elsewhere. QUCEH members include business, economic, financial and social science historians who are specialists on the history of Ireland, Britain, Europe and North America.
QUCEH's mission is to support its members by coordinating research projects, providing a forum for interdisciplinary discussion, hosting regular research seminars and workshops with invited speakers, and providing graduate training to the next generation of economic historians and historical economists.
Our Mission: To support research and education initiatives that explain the past in order to understand the present.
Our Vision: To be a top centre for economic history research and pedagogy in the UK, Ireland and globally.
Our Objectives:
-
To build an international scholarly network to facilitate research and knowledge transfer in economic history, including topics in business history, demographic history, financial history and social science history.
-
To establish and maintain closer ties between economic history researchers within Queen’s Business School, between the different schools and departments of Queen’s, and with others across national and international institutions.
-
To promote undergraduate and postgraduate study in economic history at Queen’s.
