Iris Murdoch Research Centre
Description
The Iris Murdoch Research Centre supports and develops work into this major twentieth century writer.
Staff disseminate expertise on Murdoch's work via published work, major conferences, and more widely via the media. The Centre is the hub for international research, edits and publishes the Iris Murdoch Review journal and other publications, and convenes the Iris Murdoch Society.
The Centre's primary role is to support and develop research, from undergraduate work to world-leading publications. The Centre fully supports the University's core vision for all research to be filtered into teaching and members see students as co-workers in this venture; Murdoch's fictional work is taught throughout the undergraduate and postgraduate programme in English. The research events, seminars, and conferences the centre organises, both at Chichester and beyond, are open to all and the Centre’s aim is to involve as many as possible, including the general public, in its work. The Centre was involved with preparations for Murdoch's centenary in 2019. Activities included a major conference in Oxford in July of 2019, public lectures, seminars, and the publication of new materials. Members also work on funding bids to external agencies.
If you are interested in MPhil or PhD study please contact the Centre Director. The Centre has a thriving postgraduate cohort and it always welcomes applications to study.
