Our Research
We are at the core a Division of History of Science, Technology and Environment and historical research in all these three areas, and not least combinations of them, cut across almost anything we do. We are also a global hub of research and PhD training in the Environmental Humanities. The research areas present our main projects and programs in different and perhaps more transparent terms, thematically, geographically, and in other ways. When relevant, some activities have been put under more than one research area.
