Welcome to Queen's University Centre for Economic History
|
Queen's University Centre for Economic History (QUCEH) is an interdisciplinary research centre based at Queen's University Belfast. It brings together faculty and graduate students working on the economic study of the past from across the university and elsewhere.
NewsOnline Seminars
QUCEH is part of a European network of centres-of-excellence in macroeconomic history. Together we are hosting an online seminar series for the duration of the COVD-19 crisis. Details are here. Honorary Appointments
Queen's University Belfast has appointed Rebecca Stuart as Honorary Professor of Practice in Finance, and Matthias Blum as Honorary Senior Lecturer in Economics. Both have strong long-standing connections with QUCEH. These appointments honour these links, and aim to deepen ongoing and future research collaborations. Award
Robin Adams has won the 2020 Thirsk-Feinstein PhD Dissertation Prize, awarded to the best doctoral dissertation in economic and/or social history by the Economic History Society. He won the prize for a DPhil thesis defended at the University of Oxford in 2019 entitled 'Shadow of a Taxman: how, and by whom, was the Republican Government financed in the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921)?'. COVID-19 Cancellations:
Our Historical Perspectives on Finance and Corporate Governance workshop is now cancelled and will be rescheduled. Our economic history seminar series is suspended until further notice. The Long Run Initiative
The Long Run Initiative is a not-for-profit forum co-run by members of QUCEH. The Initiative is founded on three precepts: (1) to demonstrate the practical value of historical expertise to contemporary decision makers; (2) to create dialogue between academics, businesses and government; and (3) to provide an independent and international perspective on the challenges facing business and society.
