North American and Atlantic Research Group
Description
The North American and Atlantic Research Group is a group of scholars of literature and culture who teach and study texts from the United States, Canada, and the wider Atlantic world.
Members’ research interests range far and wide, spanning 200 years of transatlantic history and covering a variety of different media and genres. Not only do they have world-leading expertise in poetry, drama, novels, and short stories, but the team also has specialist knowledge in Hollywood and independent cinema, television, video games, popular music, fashion, and comics and graphic novels. They are interested in all forms of cultural production from across the Atlantic world and are committed to methodological approaches that are meaningfully interdisciplinary and transnational; this commitment is reflected in teaching, where members expose they students to the latest developments in scholarship and ask what they mean for their own critical practice.
From undergraduates to doctoral researchers, students have a track record of winning grants and awards and producing outstanding publications, and Exeter offers a BA English with Study in North America degree and an MA pathway themed around the literature and culture of North America. As the leading university in the South-West peninsula, the University of Exeter has always had a transatlantic outlook, and the work group’s members do in the North American and Atlantic Research Group reflects the membership’s continuing position at the forefront of US and Canadian literary and cultural studies in the UK.
