Our research

Research at the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics is driven by a focus on the languages, cultures and texts of the regions on which we work and we engage in the study of literature, linguistics, cinema, visual culture, community engagement, medical humanities, gender studies and a range of interdisciplinary concerns.

We have a strong track record in raising research funding from a range of prestigious funding agencies, both in the UK and overseas and have excellent collaborative research links with universities and NGOs across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
