Centre for Design History

Description

The Centre for Design History applies a cross-disciplinary research perspective to understand how design in all its forms has shaped things, spaces and actions across time.

The Centre's approach extends to research across other arts and humanities, the social sciences, engineering, health, and community engagement. A wide social and economic impact develops through the Centre's links with the cultural sector, particularly museums and art galleries, government and voluntary sectors and, crucially, creative businesses. The Centre's research in design history makes an important contribution to cultural life and wellbeing.

The Centre for Design History currently organises its research by four main areas including:

  • Transnational design histories
  • Fashion and dress histories
  • Graphic Design Histories
  • Museums, archives, and exhibitions
