Research activities of the group focus on late extra-European and global history. While the Chair specializes geographically in South Asian history and the history of the British Empire from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, other European and extra-European regions are also covered by group members. In terms of content, the group and its associated members mainly work in the fields of cultural and social history and the history of knowledge. Gender history and media history are also part of the research programme.
