About the Centre
The Humanities Research Centre has been a focus for the humanities at Sheffield Hallam since 1996.
The Centre manages the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and other external funding awarded to its constituent areas and provides support to all research active staff through funding sabbaticals and teaching remission, editorial assistance, archive and library work, and UK and international conference attendance.
It also funds a research seminar series in each area, linked each year to current research themes, and hosts visiting professors, research fellows, visiting scholars and invited speakers.
The Centre contributes to funding for three research professors and provides advice and technical support for staff bidding for external funding awards. Two readerships, with specific research leadership and development roles, have recently been attached to the Centre.
