This research group aims to: focus its research as being both original in its scope, and global in its wider contexts. We already work with colleagues across Europe and in South America, and our research students include those jointly supervised with colleagues in Saudi Arabia, and our Welsh-based students include those examining writing from Japan. These approaches and focuses on the global – nested throughout the CSESP English Literature research community – feed in especially to the University’s Research Strategy as manifested in Cardiff Met’s Global Academies. We intend to expand the Global Academies through our research, and to demonstrate the significance of reading literature in English to help explore the global community.
