Members of the School specialise in Australian, North American, Early Modern and Modern European and British history. We explore history through the lenses of Aboriginal, cultural, colonial, gender, intellectual, labour, political, legal, post-colonial and transnational history. The School hosts three centres, recognized for their national and international leadership in the areas of Indigenous History, Environmental History, and Biography.

Members of the School of History have won prizes for teaching, supervising and publications and many of us hold visiting positions at leading overseas universities and national institutions. We are regular commentators on local, national and international issues. As Manning Clark, who founded History at the ANU, would say: come and join the great conversation.
