About the author
The University of Oxford’s Faculty of History is part of the Humanities Division and serves as a major hub for teaching and research in medieval and modern history. Oxford notes that a Regius Professor of Modern History was first appointed in 1724, showing how long the subject has been established there.
Today, the faculty supports a broad academic community, with permanent staff as well as graduate students contributing to seminars, lectures, and research centers. Its work spans many fields, including global history, and the faculty presents itself as one of the largest concentrations of historians in the world.
The faculty’s public pages highlight both its long tradition and its active present-day life, from research initiatives to profiles of scholars and events. For readers interested in modern history, it represents a historic institution with a wide-ranging and still-evolving scholarly community.
