Research - Department of Modern History and Society
Research
We work actively on a wide range of projects with various internal and external sources of funding, including several with support through the Research Council's FRIPRO and Toppforsk schemes. Moreover, we have several interdisciplinary research collaborations.
We also work purposefully to incorporate research results into teaching through ongoing development projects, such as Emerald, SUSTAINABLE, Memorbilia II and ACDC.
Our goal is to show how the discipline of history can be used to create new academic insight in a number of fields in which we have specialist expertise. We also aim to contribute to increased understanding of social change processes that are important for a number of other fields, including in technology, economics and politics.
