Trinity Centre for International History
International history draws on the burgeoning insights of historians in the past few decades that history does not stop at the border of the nation-state. International history explores comparative approaches and uncovers transnational flows of commerce, politics, culture, and ideas.
The Centre for International History aims to provide a research hub for staff, postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, and MPhils (especially students in our M.Phil in International History). It offers a seminar series that meets roughly every other week, usually meeting in the Trinity Long Room Hub on Mondays from 1300-1400.
