Under the Institute for Language and Culture, we can also offer co-supervision in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural projects in areas including transnationalism and migration; comparative literature and culture; and the politics of identity. German Studies colleagues regularly co-supervise PhDs with colleagues in History, Film and English Literature, as well as within Modern Languages, in Linguistics and in Spanish and French Studies. We have close links with the Faculty’s Research Centres, notably: the Centre for Transnational Studies (TNS); the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations; the Centre for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research (CLLEAR); and the Centre for Global Englishes (CGE).
The successful PhD candidates will join a very supportive, intellectually driven, diverse and friendly PhD community within a lively and innovative Department of Modern Languages.
