Literary and Cultural Studies PhD

University of Surrey

We have research-active staff in English literature, creative writing, film studies, translation studies, theoretical and applied linguistics, and literary and cultural studies. Here at Surrey, you’ll join a cosmopolitan, multilingual and multicultural community of students and scholars. Research in literary and cultural studies brings together researchers to examine pressing social and cultural issues. We examine social and cultural networks, cities and urban culture, embodiment and the practice and politics of movement, post-humanism, queer studies and subversive space, medical humanities, and transnationalism and its limitations. Our projects have examined areas such as the international reception of British artists, publishing and activism networks in Latin America, and French migration and anarchist movements. Our new distance-learning route allows you to pursue doctoral research with full academic support, remote supervision, and access to online resources, without needing to relocate or interrupt your professional and/or caring commitments.
