Contested Histories
Bringing together scholars from across a wide range of disciplines, the Contested Histories group is committed to fostering new and innovative research on the construction and mobilisation of competing narratives of the past. Whether it is in struggles over political, cultural, or epistemic authority, we consider historical narratives as a key site for the construction and contestation of power. For this reason, we are interested in exploring how canons and archives are constituted, how hegemonic visions of the past are articulated and propagated, and how counter-narratives emerge to challenge them.
