Not only do our staff advance intellectual knowledge in History and Philosophy through their research, they also use their expertise to make valuable contributions to society in areas including culture, public policy, and social services and practices, among others. Our School consistently supports the University’s critical role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We celebrate the creative opportunities that our research provides and the positive changes that it generates and achieves over time at a local, national and global level. Below are examples of projects which demonstrate the excellence and richness of our research, the scale of its reach, and the benefits that it produces for the wider community.
