Politics and History

The PSA Politics & History specialist group was set up in 2016. Its aim is to promote a better dialogue between political scientists and political historians. We set the group up because we felt that in the UK each of these disciplines was quite inward-looking and when they did engage tended to talk past each other. Our hope is that a richer dialogue will work to the benefit of both disciplines. The group is led by Dr David Jeffery (University of Liverpool), Emily Stacey (Oxford Brookes), and Adam Waddingham (University of Manchester).
