The French section has outstanding research across various topics, including French:

  • film, media, and visual arts
  • translation and interpreting

  • history, culture, and society

Current research projects investigate issues as diverse as:

  • memory studies
  • women’s writing
  • urban humanities
  • popular music
  • comics studies
  • environmental justice

Our researchers engage with colleagues across the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. This often results in collaboration on:

  • research projects
  • research groups
  • research supervision

We are also actively involved in engagement and impact work with organisations beyond the University.
