Centre for the History of Welfare

Based in the Department of History in the School of Arts and Humanities, the Centre has links with staff in a number of Schools within the University and with a network of research associates, both national and international.

The Centre has three central aims:

1. To bring together scholars who have research interests in the history of welfare broadly defined.
2. To act as a focus for individual and collaborative research in the history of welfare, and to promote its dissemination.
3. To make connections between historical research and current welfare policy, and thereby to foster links between historians of welfare and policy makers.
