Our Research Clusters
Postgraduate Research

Queen’s is one of the premier research centres globally for the study of Irish history and boasts a large and active team of researchers in this field. We have particular strengths in the history of Irish religion, politics, gender relations, social history, and Ireland's relationships with Britain and the wider world, economic development and thought, political ideologies, and the history of modern Ulster.

History is a dynamic and growing research area at Queen's with interests ranging from the middle ages to the twentieth century. We have strong and growing postgraduate research clusters in

· Irish history

· public history,

· gender relations,

· the history of religion,

· modern Britain,

· modern Europe,

· the United States and twentieth-century Europe.

Our large cohort of History researchers engage a wider range of other areas too: Oral history, 20th-century British social, cultural, political and imperial history, the history of the U.S. South, gender history and religious history. There are also specialists in the history of Ancient Rome, Medieval England and Europe, Early Modern Britain and Europe, twentieth-century Europe, modern China, India, and South-East Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

We would welcome inquiries about doctoral research in all these areas.
