Interdisciplinary Research
Cross-disciplinarity is at the heart of everything the Centre represents in its explorations of the relations between different languages and cultures, interdisciplinary approaches to literary study, and innovative research at the juncture of Comparative Literature and Translation. The Centre draws on close links with cognate disciplines at the University of Glasgow beyond Modern Languages (English Literature, Celtic, History, Philosophy, Classics, Film Studies, Theatre Studies, Politics, Sociology) including joint PhD supervision, and on existing collaborations in the College of Arts on key themes such as migration and slavery. Collaboration is being developed with The Dear Green Bothy and, more generally, in the areas of environmental and medical humanities, following new appointments of staff researching in these areas.
