Military & Political History

The research theme in Military and Political History promotes the study of the history of war broadly defined.

There are no restrictions on period or approach, when it comes to the theme, but most research areas focus on the study of the two world wars and the wars after 1945.

The largest research theme within the School of Security Studies with over 30 academic and approximately 50 student members  researchers work closely with a number of specialised groups including the Sir Michael Howard Centre for the History of War.

Members have access to opportunities such as collaborative research grant development, both within King’s and with external partners, as well as support for postgraduate research and early career researcher development.
