History and Law Research Hub

Description

The History and Law research hub was set up in 2024 to explore connections between the two disciplines. Our members include academics and postgraduate students working on all parts of the world and all time periods (not just legal historians) from the Department of History, the Dickson Poon School of Law, War Studies, Political Economy, Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and Global Health and Social Medicine.

We host research talks, reading groups, and work-in-progress sessions on a variety of topics, such as:

• Histories of legal concepts
• Histories of legal practices
• Legal sources for history
• Historical sources for law

We have recently hosted events on colonial legalism, legal pluralism, and differences between legal and historical approaches to the past.
