Based in the Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, the MAA group has an interdisciplinary focus on the cultures and material cultures of the past, from the ancient to the contemporary world and interdisciplinary strengths in international history and politics, European philosophy, public policy and administration, global governance, archaeology, and regional history and heritage.
The Materiality, Antiquity and Archaeology group has seen remarkable research successes in recent years, and it has been identified as a developing area of strength at Manchester Met. The group is particularly known for its UKRI-funded research at the intersection between material culture, archaeology and public policy, totalling over £1.75M in the last 5 years. Staff have directly influenced the formulation of UKRI infrastructure policy through secondments to scope and prepare the newly released and funded ‘Research Infrastructure in Conservation and Heritage Science’ (RICHeS). The outward-facing and engaged nature of the group’s research is also reflected in the number of AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Awards held by staff (currently 6). The group has been recognised for its success and has seen significant investment in its research infrastructure.
