Canadian Studies

We are the only department in the UK to combine American with Canadian Studies. We offer research expertise in race, gender, and sexuality and how these are explored in Canadian literature, film, and culture.

If you already have a clear idea of the area and topic you wish to research as a PhD, then you can effectively lay the groundwork for this by doing a masters by research.

Our particular areas of research specialism include:

- Canada-US border studies

- Contemporary cinema

- Contemporary literature

- Cultural studies

- Ethnic-minority literature

- Film adaptation

- Indigenous literature and cinema

- Prize culture

- Queer studies

- Settler-colonialism

- Women's writing

- Young adult literature
