Welcome

The School of History and Politics offers students the interpretive tools with which they may attempt to understand the past and the present. Offerings are grouped into four broad areas:

• Social movements
• Political theory and political economy
• Culture and civilisations
• War and state development

Our subjects explore a wide variety of topics from Ancient Greece to the latest anti-globalisation protest. Our teaching and research covers aspects of people, community, society, government, conflict and war in Australia, the Pacific, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

The staff of the School of History and Politics can supervise postgraduate research students in a variety of areas. The School’s Research Seminar Program provides training in presentation and critical evaluation of arguments and research techniques.
