The IGCC engages in research, impact, innovation, and knowledge exchange projects in History, English Literature and Language, Creative Writing, Media, Politics and International Relations and Material, Textual and Visual Cultures.

We live in a complex, fast-moving and fragile world. Numerous issues and challenges impact the daily lives of individuals, communities, and societies, both nationally and internationally. The Institute of Global Challenges and Cultures (IGCC), a multi-disciplinary entity, conducts high-quality, cutting-edge research that grapples with these complexities and challenges. Our aim is to make a positive contribution to social, economic, cultural, and environmental wellbeing, with an emphasis on two distinct research clusters – ‘Migration, Integration and Conflict’ and ‘Global Cultures: Material, Textual and Visual’.

Our strategic vision is to engage with the key challenges that humanity faces, using both a disciplinary and interdisciplinary focus, and to produce world-leading scholarly outputs, impact and knowledge exchange, forging research that is significant, impactful, and with real-world applications.

In the Research Excellence Framework 2021, 86% of our research for unit 27 (English Language and Literature) and 72% for unit 30 (History) were assessed as internationally excellent or world leading – ratings that demonstrate the quality of our research.

Global in our outlook, we are committed to academic collaboration and to our external partnerships, in both national and international contexts, which have generated numerous high-impact outcomes. Many of our members have conducted consultancy for (or worked on collaborative projects with) governmental, cultural, third-sector or international organisations, such as the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the Ministry of Defence, Historic England, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the United Nations, the House of Lords and FIFA, and media such as the BBC, Channel 4, Al Jazeera and CNN.

As DMU is a United Nations’ Academic Impact Hub for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), the institute's research is closely aligned with the values enshrined in all UN SDGs.

Research Areas

The Institute of Humanities and Political Studies supports a diverse range of disciplinary areas forming a dynamic research community.

Leicester Centre for Creative Writing

The Leicester Centre for Creative Writing is a diverse community of writers working in a wide range of forms and genres including long and short fiction, performance, poetry of all kinds, script, and digital work, including ways of using creativity to support digital upskilling. The Centre is interested in all aspects of Practice Research and the potential to find creative ways to express research imperatives in Creative Writing. Its flagship event is the highly successful annual collaboration on States of Independence, an independent book festival in a day.

International Centre for Sports History and Culture (ICSH)

The ICSH is a world-leading centre of excellence for the study of sports history. Its members have research interests in a range of sports and sporting events, producing books and articles that link sport to the social, political, cultural, and economic contexts in which it has been played. They are regular speakers at conferences and public events in the UK and overseas, and they contribute to television, radio, web, and print media features on sports history. Two book series are edited from ICSHC: Peter Lang鈥檚 Sport, History and Culture, and Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics.

Centre for Local and Urban Studies

The Centre brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers with a wealth of experience of working with practice and end-users to generate novel insights into pressing local and urban issues in the UK and abroad. Their research investigates topics such as localism, place stewardship and the rescaling of local government; local democracy, voice and accountability; collaboration and innovation in the delivery of public services, notably in housing and health; and the impacts of austerity, retrenchment and neo-liberalization on urban living.
Professor Kenneth Morrison - Research and Innovation Director (Institute of Global Challenges and Cultures)
The Institute of Global Challenges and Cultures is the home for world- leading research in History, English Literature, English Language, Creative Writing, Politics and International Relations and Visual, Material and Textual Cultures. As we collectively face the challenges of the future and the problems of the contemporary world, the role of the Humanities and the Social Sciences has never been more valuable or important. Within the Institute, we foster a dynamic environment where research, both disciplinary and inter-disciplinary, can thrive. Our strong performance in REF2021 underscores our commitment to scholarly inquiry, research excellence, innovation, impact, and knowledge creation and knowledge transfer that has real-world applications.
