| Centre for the Study of the Two World Wars (CSTWW) |
The
Centre for Second World War Studies (CSWWS) has been renamed. From
1 January 2006 it will become the Centre for the Study of the Two
World Wars (CSTWW). This change was already envisaged under the
Former Faculty of Arts and represents an expansion of the Centre's
activity to provide enhanced opportunities for recruiting postgraduate
students and for making successful bids for funded research. World
War 1 studies are currently generating vast amounts of new research,
especially in the area of cultural history. It is the new Centre's
intention to establish a reputation for path-breaking research in
this area, where its Director, Professor James McMillan, has already
secured a Major Leverhulme Research Fellowship in order to pursue
a project on War and Belief: the Great War and the Western Religious
Imagination. At the same time, the new Centre will continue to promote
the study of the origins, the course and the consequences of the
Second World War, and thus build on the record of the outstanding
achievements of CSWWS since its foundation in 1996. Like its predecessor,
CSTWW will organise conferences, colloquia and other research-related
activities including the supervision of postgraduate research. Jim
