About
The SCNCR launched as a Research Centre in the summer of 2012 after two years as a successful reading group. We now comprise over 70 researchers including staff, students, and external friends, across several faculties in the University and beyond.
We meet up to three times a term to present and discuss our work, to debate issues of central importance to interdisciplinary nineteenth-century studies, and to host external events including guest speakers, seminars, and conferences. Our main aims are to publicise the work done by our members, and to forge and extend links with nineteenth-century researchers in other institutions globally.
