Centre for History and Public Engagement with the Past

Description

The Centre for History and Public Engagement with the Past brings together UCLan’s strong core of research historians with scholars in related disciplines who are researching aspects of the past.

The Labour and People’s History group includes such projects as the temperance movement, the Peterloo massacre, the Lancashire cotton industry, modern British politics, modern Ireland, newspaper history, and the co-operative movement.

In Modern International History the Centre's principal areas include far eastern history, modern Germany, twentieth-century international relations, British colonial history in Africa, and the history of mountaineering.

Many projects embrace the politics and practice of heritage, for example in the First World War, twentieth-century Ireland, and post-war Berlin. Members also have strong regional interests, demonstrated through the Centre's partnership with the Harris Institute and many local and community organisations. Researchers in associated disciplines have strong interests in twentieth-century British cultural history, among other fields.

Enquiries from prospective research students are welcome in any of these areas.
