Global Humanitarianism Research Academy
The international Global Humanitarianism | Research Academy (GHRA) offers research training to advanced PhD candidates and early postdocs. It combines academic sessions at the Imperial and Global History Centre at the University of Exeter and the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz with archival sessions at the Archives of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva.
In the Cause of Humanity
The research project intended a comparative analysis of the various case studies of humanitarian intervention in the 19th century, such as the stopping of the transatlantic slave trade, the military interventions of the major European powers to provide emergency humanitarian aid to Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire and the intervention of the United States in the Cuban War of Independence.
