About RIAH

The Research Institute for Arts and Humanities (RIAH) was established in August 2009 as the research and knowledge transfer arm of Swansea University's College of Arts and Humanities. RIAH supports Arts and Humanities researchers – staff and postgraduates – to develop collaborations inside and outside the University, and to maximise the impact of their research.

RIAH comprises two major Research Centres: the Callaghan Centre for the Study of Conflict, Power and Empire and the Richard Burton Centre for the Study of Wales. It also supports a number of Research Groups, a Graduate Centre and a growing number of externally funded Research Projects.
