The Centre for the History of Violence
The Centre is based within the Humanities Research Institute in the Faculty of Education and Arts at the University of Newcastle. The Centre’s research focus is on the history of violence over the longue durée as a significant factor that has an impact on the fabric of society. All aspects of violence are taken into consideration, from the act of mass killing and massacre, changing meanings of, and attitudes towards, violence across time and across cultures, to visual representations of violence. The research undertaken by the PhD candidate could adopt a comparative and transnational historical analysis.

The Centre for the History of Violence is dedicated to advancing the understanding of violence, and applying new historical knowledge and methods that will allow people, institutions and societies to better understand the world in which we live. The Centre is part of an international network of scholars whose researchers have made significant contributions to the field. The Centre provides a supportive research environment and infrastructure that furnishes the development of world-class research.
