Unit context and structure, research and impact strategy\u003Cbr>1a. CONTEXT\u003Cbr>We are a large (45 .34 FTE) , vibrant and diverse body of historians and archaeologists, located since August 2019 within Royal Holloway’s School of Humanities, whose common research agenda is focussed on bringing the study of the past into contemporary social and cultural debates. Our individual and collective research activities and goals, as reflected in our outputsand work with external partners, are underpinned by a shared research strategy, investment in and training of our researchers, and a strong record of successful grant capture. Our current Centres/Institutes play a key role in defining our research identities in areas of excellence, nurturing our investigator-led research and curiosity-driven collaborations. Recent academic initiatives include our ‘turn’ towards the digital and global humanities, building new research partnerships within and outside academia, and drawing on collective research expertise, particularly in the field of Public History, to deliver impact and knowledge exchange across communities and professional stakeholders.\u003Cbr>With recent initiatives in place to better support funding applications, including more challengeled, partnership-based projects, our annual research grant capture more than doubled between 2014-15 and 2019-20. In 2019-20, helped by research incubator workshops and enhanced internal peer review feedback, we also exceeded our institutional grant application target by almost 200% . Sources of research income have also diversified, notably to include European Research Council and Wellcome Trust funding. Accordingly, our 2021-26 research strategy prioritizes:\u003Cbr>• producing socially engaged research that questions established narratives and tells neglected stories;\u003Cbr>• creating a balanced research ecology that values scholarship, diversity of methodology, approach, historical period and subject area;\u003Cbr>• consolidating established areas of strength while cultivating new areas of research growth;\u003Cbr>• promoting a diverse and inclusive research community that enables staff and students at all stages of their career to realise their full potential;\u003Cbr>• collaborating with heritage, media, policy makers, creative industries and other stakeholders to maximize the public benefits of our research;\u003Cbr>• providing support for excellent research, including a robust infrastructure for grant capture and productive national/international collaborations.\u003Cbr>The chronological scope of UoA research extends from the Mycenaean period to the early 21st century ; geographically it focuses on the UK, Europe, East, West and South Asia, North Africa, the Americas and the Pacific. Our collective research interests also intersect across multiple themes, e.g. from environment, embodiment and gender, to violence, ideas and beliefs, and draws on inter/trans-disciplinary insights. We have proven strengths in exploring societies and cultures from diverse perspectives, including an emphasis on ‘Life Viewed from Below’; and our research strategy embodies Royal Holloway’s broader cross-institutional commitment to academic excellence combined with equality and social justice.\u003Cbr>While some of our research areas are identifiable by time periods, we are more concerned with underlying themes that deliberately break down periodization to generate thoughtful enquiry about the functioning of human societies and cultures. For example,[1] our research on radicalization and terror links modern/contemporary with medieval; research on histories of the body, health and environment brings together modern British, early modern European, Byzantine and Classical perspectives; [2] concerns among our modern historians with ‘the |\n\nviolence of development’ connect with interests in humanitarianism, citizenship and identity, across wider geographies and time p","cbCaiiuLRml53kUB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiuLRml53kUB","pdf",537500,"English","# Unit context and structure, research and impact strategy\n## Context\n## Research structures and objectives since REF2014","[{\"question\":\"What is the research focus of the Unit of Assessment 28 History?\",\"answer\":\"The unit focuses on bringing study of the past into contemporary social and cultural debates, guided by a shared research agenda and strategy.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes and scope guide the unit’s research?\",\"answer\":\"Research spans the Mycenaean period to the early 21st century and focuses geographically on multiple regions including the UK, Europe, South and North Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific, while intersecting themes such as environment, embodiment, gender, violence, ideas, and beliefs.\"},{\"question\":\"What changes to support research objectives since REF2014 are described?\",\"answer\":\"The statement highlights supportive structures including research institutes and sabbatical/workload arrangements, including increased sabbatical entitlement and revised sabbatical strategy based on consecutive research leave.\"}]","Unit environment statement - Royal Holloway and Bedford New College - 28 - Unit of Assessment 28 History | PDF",1789514365,6]
