Dr. Adrian Green serves as Associate Professor (Early Modern British and American History) in the Department of History at Durham University, where he also holds membership in the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS). His academic profile demonstrates a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research bridging historical scholarship with architectural and archaeological approaches.
Green's research interests focus on British regional history 1500-1800, the Social & economic history of housing in Britain 1500-1800, and the Social & economic history of north-east England 1500-1800. His work particularly emphasizes the Architecture and archaeology of the built environment in England and North America, 1500-1800. As General Editor of the British Record Society Hearth Tax series, he has significantly contributed to making this key resource for studying seventeenth-century English houses, economy and society more accessible to scholars.
Analysis of Green's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on how built environments reflect social structures, economic conditions, and cultural practices in early modern England. His work frequently examines regional variations, particularly in North-East England, while also addressing broader themes of architectural development, material culture, and the relationship between domestic spaces and social identity.

Green actively supervises graduate students working on diverse topics related to early modern British history, including studies of seventeenth-century social change, Atlantic world sensibility, non-conformity impacts on family status, timber imports in the British economy, and princely gardens. His research leverages Durham's rich archival resources, particularly for studying North-East England, which he identifies as having "many untapped archival resources located in and near to Durham." He is affiliated with the Centre for Visual Arts and Cultures and the Durham Energy Institute.
