We specialise in the study of the global empires that have defined so much of the world for centuries, and which continue to profoundly shape it today.

We explore the varied ways that global empires functioned, were resisted and negotiated. We also ask how these empires continue to define the present. BOB体育登录网址_欧宝体育官网平台-APP|下载 academics, from a variety of disciplines, examine the issues around migration, power, violence, trade, race, and much more.
