About

Queer Studies and Medical Humanities have been identified as areas for potential growth in postgraduate research in the School of Literature and Languages. We invite proposals for innovative projects across either of these areas. Applications from candidates with expertise in contemporary literature in relation to questions of gender and sexuality, mobility and spatiality, and/or global or comparative approaches, are especially welcome. Applications to the Medical Humanities studentship are welcomed from candidates of any discipline, although those with experience of international and/or comparative Medical Humanities are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants should develop their project proposal and then contact their potential primary supervisor (Lena Mattheis or Stephen Fay).  For further details of staff research interests see: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/school-literature-languages/people  It may also be possible to arrange cross-disciplinary supervisory teams, and this can be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the primary supervisor.
