About

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 diverse group includes academics, writers, and research students. We share an interest in writing and contemporary culture in all its forms.

We take an interdisciplinary approach to writing and culture. We forge new ways of thinking about the connections between contemporary literature and many other fields. These include the sciences, law, aesthetics, politics, ethics and critical theory. Additionally, we explore connections with space, maritime studies, medicine, finance and Jewishness. 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 approach extends to visual culture, popular culture, gender, music, postcolonialism and philosophy.

天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 research projects are recognised by major external grants and published internationally. They shape public policy, cultural landscapes and critical debates.

We are committed to engaging academics, researchers and public audiences in the literary production of our time. Coming from many different perspectives, we bring diverse critical attitudes to bear on a vast array of topics. We work together to foster engagement and stimulate interest in the writing and critical reading of contemporary literature.
