Centre for Contemporary and Modern History (CoMo)
CoMo brings together researchers from across the University who share a common interest in our world's recent past. Our specialisms span the globe and our membership stretches across disciplinary boundaries, to include staff and postgraduate researchers from Law, Architecture, Journalism, English, Modern Languages, East Asian Studies, and History.
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.
