Modern History Research Centre (MHRC - University of Winchester)

Description

Since its establishment in 2010, the Modern History Research Centre (MHRC), based at the School of History, Archaeology and Philosophy of the University of Winchester, has for mission to support and encourage the world-leading, rigorous and independent research of established academic staff, early career colleagues and students working on topics and issues relating to modern history (early modern, modern and/or contemporary) in its widest interpretation.

Our experts have a wide range of research strengths including in the global Age of Napoleon, American civil rights, Modern Japan, British youth and youth culture, the Modern Hispanic world, Latin American and Caribbean history, Modern French and British imperialism and post-colonialism, environmental and rural history, the high-speed society, ethnographic approaches to the languages and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa, diasporas, the Holocaust, histories of sexualities and disabilities, death, bereavement and religion – to mention just a few

The centre is also home of the international research network project The Hispanic-Anglosphere: transnational networks, global communities (late 18th-early 20th centuries)’

Engaging with the public is at the very heart of our work. Our well-established series of regular public events (seminars, conferences, webinars) attracts leading scholars from the UK and all around the world to share their work, often in conversation with leading figures from outside academia. Our experts are also available to offer consultancy (ex. the provision of expert advice to individuals, companies, print media, broadcasters and NGOs).
