North East Transnational and World History Research Centre (NETWoRC)
Description
Set up by historians from Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, and Sunderland Universities, NETWoRC, the North East Transnational and World History Research Centre, brings together academics, graduate students, and early career researchers interested in global, transnational, and world history.
The centre's members’ interests range from medieval and early modern right through to contemporary history and cover cultural, social, economic, political, intellectual, and religious history, as well as visual and material culture. What brings them together is a shared interest in global, transnational, and spatial approaches, the ambition to write truly connected history.
The centre serves as a hub for scholars in the region publicising and promoting seminars, conferences, workshops, and ongoing research projects on the theme of transnational and global history. Members organize their own events, a bi-weekly brownbag lunch held at Northumbria University on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 pm, as well as two workshops per year one specifically aimed at graduate students and one that showcases the wider research in global history.
