Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History

Description:

The BILL GRAHAM CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL HISTORY is based at Trinity College of the University of Toronto. Its mission is to further and promote the history of international relations since roughly the end of the Second World War. The central elements of its mandate are: promoting the historical study of contemporary international events; and bringing the world of the scholar and that of the policymaker and political practitioner together. The Centre's activities include undergraduate and graduate teaching, the organization and sponsorship of conferences and public lectures by scholars and policymakers, and publications reflecting original research. 

The Graham Centre is based at Trinity College in the University of Toronto, where its teaching and research functions are performed, and it works in close cooperation with Trinity’s International Relations and the Munk School’s Master of Global Affairs programs, as well as the University of Toronto’s departments of History, Political Science, and Economics. In addition, the Centre promote international history through partnerships with other institutions and organizations in Canada and abroad. 

The Graham recognize the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary international history, and draws upon the insights of political science and economics, within a broadly historical methodological framework. An important dimension of its work is bringing together current and former policymakers with students and scholars to exchange insights and perspectives.
