Centre for Modern and Contemporary Writing (CMCW), Southampton

Description

The Centre for Modern and Contemporary Writing supports interdisciplinary research on twentieth and twenty-first century literature. Based in the Faculty of Humanities, the CMCW brings together a diverse cohort of academics, writers, and research students with interests in the relations between writing and contemporary culture in all its forms.

The Centre's particular strengths lie in its interdisciplinary approaches to writing and culture, with staff at the Centre forging new ways of thinking about the connections between contemporary literature and the sciences, law, aesthetics, space, maritime studies, ethics, medicine, finance, Jewishness, visual culture, popular culture, gender, music, postcolonialism, critical theory, politics and philosophy. Recognized by major external grants and published at the highest levels internationally, the Centre's research projects are shaping public policy, cultural landscapes, and critical debates.

They are committed to engaging academics, researchers and public audiences in the literary production of contemporary time. Coming from many different perspectives, and bringing diverse critical attitudes to bear on a vast array of topics, they work together to foster engagement and stimulate interest in the writing and critical reading of contemporary literature.
