Summary

The Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS), formerly the Institute of Modern Languages Research, supports research in the integrated study of languages, cultures, and societies.

The strength of ILCS lies in its established expertise in the language fields of French and Francophone, German, Italian and Spanish, and in the study of the mobility of people, practices and ideas. The academic staff of the Institute specialise in the study of literature and culture in comparative and transnational perspectives, in the history of ideas, in digital humanities, and in multilingualism.

ILCS provides first-class PhD supervision and guidance from academics who are leaders in their field, in collaboration with specialists at other institutions where appropriate. Students have access to networks associated with the Centres for German and Austrian Exile Studies, Contemporary Women’s Writing, Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and Austrian Literature and Culture. More broadly, the School of Advanced Study draws on its expertise in research and teaching to provide programmes of varied and comprehensive research and skills training. These programmes help support our students and graduate researchers in their wider preparation for careers, in academia or elsewhere.
