Overview
Through studying languages and literature, history, geography, politics, religion and philosophy, we discover new insights into culture and heritage in the UK and across the world. Our research has real impact through working with communities, engaging in real-world issues and sharing our learning with the public in accessible ways.
Much of our research is multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary by nature, and some exemplars can be found below.

How we work
The Academy benefits our own students and staff, while our combined research has positive impacts on communities and industry.
We bring together researchers at all career stages, from research students to senior academics, providing a supportive, encouraging, and collaborative culture of working together. As Arts and Humanities specialists, we recognise the importance of everyone who contributes to the field, opening up new conversations and furthering existing debates.
Our postgraduate researchers are vital members of the Academy, and we aim to provide support at every stage, from first proposal to the final viva. We encourage a thriving research culture where students’ own investigations are part of a wider picture of interdisciplinary studies.
For academic staff we aim to create an environment where ideas and expertise are shared, where we can all learn from one another. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary connections will enable all those in the Academy to benefit as we develop future cutting-edge projects and support significant creative outputs.
