Welcome to the British International History Group
The British International History Group (BIHG) was established in 1987. It aims to consider and promote established and new approaches to the study of international affairs as a discipline of history. As a sub-group of the British International Studies Association (BISA), it remains committed to interdisciplinary methods. The BIHG organises a range of conferences, workshops and events which foster the scholarship of postgraduates and early-career researchers alongside the work of senior academics. These events bring together scholars from Asia, Europe and North America, demonstrating that the BIHG has global reach. Sign up to our mailing list for the latest updates.
