About us
Officially launched as a Research Centre in the summer of 2012 after two years as a successful reading group, we now comprise over 70 researchers (staff, students and external friends) across several faculties in the University and beyond.
The SCNR foregrounds work on ‘the long nineteenth century' (1789-1914) being carried out by more than 30 researchers across several Faculties and a wide range of disciplines (Archaeology, Art History, English, Film, History, Marine Archaeology, Modern Languages, Music, Philosophy, Social Sciences). Our members have long-established links with many external institutions, organisations and archives internationally, and contribute to a diverse range of interdisciplinary projects. We welcome the contributions of external partners, and are always seeking new ones.
