History Discipline+ Catalyst
The History Discipline+ catalyst supports the development of doctoral students through training in innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to the discipline, in practical research skills, and in professional development. We aim to share expertise and open up opportunities for researchers across SGSAH institutions, sometimes in association with other partner organizations. We seek to nurture doctoral researchers by engaging with their vision of the future of the discipline.
We innovate through training events that focus on new approaches in history and/or highlight the latest developments within some long-established topics. Our vision of disciplinary innovation includes both research methods, sources, and questions; and the dissemination of research findings within academia, in public engagement, and in teaching. To support this, we partner with other catalysts and beyond the arts and humanities as appropriate to encourage cross-pollination of approaches, methodologies, and ideas.
