Research Strategy
The Department of English at Queen Mary aims
to continue to develop areas where our research has been especially distinctive, at the highest level of international excellence
to embed English studies research in an interdisciplinary humanities context
to promote work across sub-disciplines within English studies, especially collaborations between researchers
to remain committed to lesser-studied but distinctive aspects of the discipline
to promote and encourage research-led teaching in the curriculum
to provide departmental support structures for research
to engage with users of our research in academia, education, and commercial and media enterprises, based on our distinctive view of English research
to foster collaboration with researchers in other countries and disseminate our research to the widest international audience
to attract high-quality research students and post-doctoral fellows who will undertake ambitious, ground-breaking research.
Our aims for 2021-2026 are:
to represent through our research a compelling public argument for the value of the Humanities in a conflicted world
to engage a wide range of partners, including non-governmental funders, artists, writers, and community groups, in order to increase the impact of our research
to implement QMUL’s ‘People, Culture, and Inclusion Enabling Plan’ (2020-2030) to support research and its impact; including strategies to address the impact of the Covid pandemic on the arts, career progression, and research culture, and especially its EDI implications, with investment and targeted support
to distribute investment in staff and research projects across the full historical and interdisciplinary range of English studies, including new research hubs for digital cultures and for creative and critical writing
to support colleagues to extend the reach and significance of their research
