Humanities Research Opportunities

Below we have listed some broad areas of research that reflect the School’s research strengths and long-term strategic aims, as articulated in our REF Environment statement. Specific projects can be suggested for each area if required.

We actively encourage projects that are interdisciplinary in scope, and supervisory teams could include colleagues from Schools and Departments outside Humanities. Staff expertise covers many areas (please see staff research profiles) but the following are some of our areas of strength:
