Impact of our research

The Department of History has tangible and sustainable links with a range of sectors within the regional economy and society.  Our campuses at Streatham and Cornwall are strategically placed to serve the large and expanding healthcare, communications (including the Met Office), environmental, tourism (particularly museums and monuments), transport, military and policing services.

Our research has a substantial impact on the scholarly discipline of history. In addition our historians engage with the public in a number of ways such as:

• contributing to TV, radio, newspapers and other local and national media
• contributions to the History & Policy website
• knowledge transfer activities (e.g. collaborating with museums on exhibitions)
• engaging with the community through oral history projects
• public lectures and school visits
