Centre for Cultural and Literary Studies (CCLS)
Description
The Centre for Cultural and Literary Studies was established in 2022 as a multidisciplinary Research Centre with expertise in the fields of literature, culture, gender and sexuality studies, and screen studies. The Centre supports the work of researchers in these fields, fostering connections with the university’s wider research cultures, building and sustaining external research networks and encouraging research projects with an impact beyond academia.
The Centre aims to develop an environment productive of high quality and impactful research and to promote the value of cultural and literary studies as an indispensable subject of enquiry designed to address the most challenging contemporary issues. Through public engagement, its members seek to promote the Centre’s work in advancing equality, inclusion and social mobility alongside the benefits of diversity in research.
The Centre currently has two main research themes and foci:
- Representation and identity (including research into texts and audiences, especially in relation to gender, race, nation and class)
- Cultural practice and the culture industries (including research into cultural forms and practices and practice-based research).
