The Department of Modern History and Society is an active research department. Our long-term research in modern history focuses on the period from approximately 1750 until today and covers a wide variety of subjects. Many of our research projects are externally funded.

Current research is on these thematic areas:


•    The political economy of commodities
•    Work and daily life

•    Welfare and health
•    War, occupation and the legacies of war
•    Quantitative studies of demographics
