Economische en sociale geschiedenis
The ESH group conducts research on a large number of sub themes. For example, attention is paid to global history, environmental history, urban and rural history, demographic history, anthropometric history, the history of nutrition and health, etc.
In the coming years the group aims to further strengthen its profile towards the global history of population and health, gender and social inequalities, and sustainability focusing on the role of spatial, social, and cultural contexts.
The group’s themes are closely related to the University of Groningen’s central focus areas "Sustainability" and "Healthy Ageing" and build on the substantive and geographical expertise (on the Netherlands, Europe, Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa) that exists within the group.
