Interdisciplinary Research Centres and Networks

In order to facilitate and improve our cross-disciplinary understandings of particular periods or areas, English at Queen’s, in conjunction with other funding bodies, supports three major interdisciplinary centres or networks, as well as contributing to the ongoing success of Irish Studies at Queen’s and a number of other interdisciplinary collaborations.

The Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies

The Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies, established in 2002, is a long-standing research initiative providing a focal point for interdisciplinary research in the long-eighteenth century. It brings together staff, students and international visitors from English, Music, Languages and History and regularly hosts conferences and smaller research gatherings on the Irish eighteenth century especially, including the annual Eighteenth Century Ireland conference in June 2019.

The Centre for the Americas

The Centre for the Americas, established in 2017 is an interdisciplinary hub of research innovation, bringing together scholars working in the fields of U.S. and Latin American Studies from backgrounds in literature, visual culture, the creative arts, languages and translation, history, philosophy, politics, and international relations. It hosts a lively research seminar series and occasional national and international conferences and symposia.

Crossing Frontiers: Medieval Visions of Modern Science

Crossing Frontiers: Medieval Visions of Modern Science is an international Research Network to inspire high-impact cross-disciplinary projects between Medieval Studies and the Sciences in order to advance knowledge exchange and cultural networks. Funded by The British Academy and the Leverhulme Trust, in conjunction with English at Queen’s, it aims show how medieval studies can successfully engage with and contribute to current scientific debate.
