History@UWS

Welcome to History at the University of Western Sydney.

We are a vibrant historical community at the University of Western Sydney engaged in high quality teaching and research. Composed of over 20 professional historians, we are one of Australia’s leading centres for the study of Australian, Asian, European and world history. We teach historical subjects and have published widely on Asian history (Japan, China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam, and Thailand), European history (Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Austria), Australian history, Aboriginal history, American history, and African history (South Africa).

Historians at UWS educate many of Western Sydney and Australia’s future history teachers, academic and public historians, and citizens. We participate within UWS and the community to disseminate accurate historical information and to make meaningful connections between research, teaching, and public policy.

We can be found teaching and working at the Bankstown, Parramatta, and Penrith campuses of the University.
