LangLit: Literary studies at the Faculty
The LangLit research group was established in spring 2024 to bring together researchers working on literatures and literary perspectives on contemporary lives. Research interests range from the epic to the novel, but also include urgent overlapping themes such as climate, decolonisation, and cultural resilience. We pay attention to and interrogate borders and their consequences – national, cultural, linguistic and ideological.
The LangLit Emergent Themes Seminars focus on historicist and comparative methods across languages. Our upcoming seminar in spring 2025 will be hosted by Matthew Reynolds (Oxford) and in autumn 2025 we will organize our first workshop on creative and comparative approaches to literary dissemination.
