Research Centre for the Humanities (REACH)

Description

The Research Centre for the Humanities allows colleagues working broadly within humanities to come together to develop research questions, provide a basis for grant applications across a range of funders and allow greater collaboration across subject areas.

The Research Centre for the Humanities aims to make innovative, interdisciplinary connections across the College and University as well as enabling smaller groups to come together to plan and develop research goals. The Centre's work is applied and sensitive to the needs of the wider community, committed to providing high-quality research as a way of solving real-world problems.

The Research Centre for the Humanities promotes and celebrates research in humanities, which is broadly defined as the study of human cultures using methods which may be theoretical, critical, empirical or combinations of all of these. Rather than be tied down to self-limiting definitions, the Centre is outward-facing and welcoming in collaborations with a range of partners who might benefit from research areas and methodologies more traditionally used by humanities scholars.

To that end, the Research Centre for the Humanities position its work as ‘public humanities’, undertaking research that has a direct and meaningful influence on people’s lives.

Research areas include:

• Digital Humanities
• Public Humanities
• Medical and Health Humanities
• Environmental Humanities
• Humanities and Education
• Archival, museum, and heritage sectors
• Media Studies
• Creative Practice and Industries

Please note that the bursaries awarded are currently internal.
