At the Department of History, studies of the past have range as well as depth. Medieval historians and colleagues specialized in the 18th century meet and work next to experts in modern history.

While most of our researcher work primarily with individual projects, they often collaborate with researchers from other parts of Sweden and the world through international networks. The research at the department covers a range of topics which engage our researchers in different constellations.

Several research centers, for Medieval Studies, Urban History and Maritime Studies, are located at the department. We also arrange research seminars within the subjects of Early modern history, Gender history, Modern history and Climate and Environmental history. The seminar series provide an environment for researchers to regularly meet and discuss topical issues.
