The History Research Group explores questions in Danish, international and global history in and across societies from Antiquity till today, working on a wide range of issues across the globe and across time.
We draw on methods from history but also offer interdisciplinary contributions for instance to Cultural Heritage Studies and Archives Studies, and we have a special focus on developing digital methods and tools for historians.
It is a key priority for us to work interdisciplinary with other research fields from the humanities, social science and the natural sciences, including anthropology, political science and biology.
