Course Summary

Investigating the rich diversity of French and Francophone cultures, histories and societies from the seventeenth century to the present day.

Based in the School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture, our expertise ranges from the literature, culture and society of the Grand Siècle through to the politics and culture of identity and migration in the contemporary Francophone world. Interdisciplinarity is a strength of our research, and we co-supervise many of our PhD students with colleagues in disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, including English, Film & Visual Culture, Music, Sociology and Spanish & Latin American Studies.

Careers

Several of our PhD students have progressed to academic roles including postdoctoral research fellowships, teaching fellowships and lectureships. They have also pursued careers in curation, arts management and the third sector.
