History

In the REF 2014, History was amongst the top three performing subjects at Keele, with 82% of our research judged to be in the top two categories of 'World Leading' [3*] and 'Internationally Excellent' [4*].

Keele historians are enthusiastic, reflective and ambitious scholars whose expertise ranges in time from the eleventh century to the very recent past, and in place from the immediate environment of the north midlands to continental Europe, the United States, Asia and Africa. We support a long-standing, flourishing Centre for Local History, and have further shared interests in the history of political violence, social movements, gender, religion and print culture. We have close links with American historians whose work is supported by the successful David Bruce Centre. We welcome postgraduate students in all our areas of expertise. Please see individual staff entries for further information.
