The Global History and Culture Centre at Warwick's 2025 Research Celebration
The Research Celebration event showcased Warwick’s pioneering research and recognised brilliant achievements from individuals and teams. GHCC's Professor David Anderson was a winner in the 'Research Communications' category for his active outreach. David has delivered nearly 50 talks on colonial legacies and conflicts to academics across Africa, America, and Europe. His collaborations with international broadcasters have turned his findings into widely viewed documentaries, and his work with government institutions has informed policy debates.
Current director Dr. Guido Van Meersbergen was 'highly commended' in his category, for his role in the GHCC. Guido has been instrumental in securing a major research donation and spearheading the “Whose Global History” initiative. This ground-breaking project unites historians from across the world, reshaping the field of global history.
Another colleague in the History department, Dr. Naomi Pullin (current director of EMECC) was the Faculty of Arts winner on the 'Excellent supervision' category. Her mentorship has greatly boosted her students' confidence and academic profiles.
Congratulations to Naomi, David and Guido!
