About

The History Department at Swansea University is a diverse and inter-disciplinary community of scholars of the past. Our expertise ranges across history, heritage, material culture, archaeology, ancient languages and classical literature, and spans Europe, the Middle East, North America and Asia.

While our research has global reach, our research environment is shaped by the needs of the community in which we are rooted. In a region profoundly affected by industrialization and de-industrialization, by political devolution and Welsh cultural identity, we take seriously our responsibility to work in partnership with outside organizations to foster wellbeing, inclusivity and opportunity for all. Engagement and impact are at the heart of all our research activities.
