disciplinary nature of subjects being studied. Broadly speaking, our 
PGRs will come from one of, or a combination of the following 
disciplinary fields. Humanities, Film Studies, Social Sciences, 
Languages, Linguistics & Translation Studies, Cultural, Literary 
Studies.  We are a vibrant and active community with many 
interdisciplinary and discipline-specific research events and activities 
happening in the School which Postgraduate Researchers (PGRs) are 
encouraged to attend.  There is also funding available to PGRs who wish 
to organise their own workshops, conferences and other events.
