Centre for Contemporary and Modern History (CoMo)
CoMo brings together international research expertise that ranges across the globe. We provide a hub for people who conduct historical research on an individual basis or as part of a wider research portfolio. We share a belief that the modern and contemporary world is best understood as an interconnected whole and we bring a historical perspective to current events.
Who are we?
CoMo is run by a steering group with representatives from across the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and beyond. To find out more about the steering group and the wider CoMo membership visit the People page.
