Ranging from archaic Greece to Renaissance Europe, MARCUS represents an array of disciplines, from history to biblical studies, from philosophy to languages, and from archaeology to music.

What holds us together is the belief that the social structures, cultural expressions and individual experiences of this period are at the foundation of the world we live in today. MARCUS co-ordinates a regular seminar series and organises other events, both for specialists and for the interested public.

SCEMS brings together scholars of the three 'long' centuries which make up the early modern: the long sixteenth century, the long seventeenth century, and the long eighteenth century.

This makes for a remarkable concentration of expertise and inter-disciplinary work. It also begs fundamental questions with which all early modernists must wrestle, about change, continuity, and periodization.

The Centre for Contemporary and Modern History (CoMo) brings together international research expertise that ranges across west and eastern Europe, the Mediterranean (including north Africa), the Indian sub-continent, East Asia and the Americas.

CoMo provides a hub for people who conduct historical research—whether on an individual basis or as part of a wider research portfolio—and share a belief that the modern and contemporary world is best understood as an interconnected whole.

The Centre for Nineteenth-Century Studies brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines across the University of Sheffield and aims to promote genuinely interdisciplinary and collaborative research.

Its interests extend over the whole breadth of the 'long nineteenth century', from c. 1789 to c. 1914, covering British, American and European history, literature and culture.
