Our DOCTORAL GRADUATES have received fellowships at the Center for Ballet & the Arts, NYU’s College of Arts and Science, Harvard University, Oxford University, and the Leverhulme Trust. Their BOOKS include Blackening Britain (2020) and Our NHS (2023).

In light of the changing shape of the historical profession, our GRADUATE PROGRAM combines training in British and European history with expertise in thematic and emergent fields: intellectual history, environmental history, history of medicine, performance studies, African diaspora, gender and sexuality studies, urban history, and others.

NYU’S GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS come with at least five years of funding, free from teaching obligations, so that students can research and write at any time. These packages include health insurance, access to housing during the first year, and at least three summers of research support.

World-class ARCHIVES & LIBRARIES in New York include the Rockefeller Foundation, the Morgan Library, the New York Public Library, and the Tamiment. NYU’s Bobst Library supports work on all aspects of British Studies.

NYU LONDON is situated in the heart of Bloomsbury, and the Global Research Initiatives support our work there.

Columbia hosts a regional RESEARCH SEMINAR, discussing works-in-progress by graduate students, local faculty, and visitors. Recent speakers have joined us from, among other places, Berkeley, Binghamton, Bristol, BU, Cambridge, Duke, Glasgow, Hunter College, King’s College London, Leicester, Northwestern, Princeton, Sydney, Warwick, and Yale.

There's a stunning array of PROGRAMMING around Washington Square, for instance at Glucksman Ireland House, the Institute of French Studies, and the Atlantic History Workshop.
