An informal presentation by our academic staff member Dr Adam Chong.
There is a long Anglophone tradition of research in Catalan Studies, but doctoral study in the field still comes with a unique set of challenges. Is a Phd on a Catalan author, artist or historical period part of Hispanic Studies or does it constitute an independent area of study? Does doctoral study on Catalan mean a student is uniquely isolated? How many specialists can a given British, Irish or North-American university be expected to provide? Is language an inevitable barrier? We welcome talks by postgraduate students and academics covering any aspect of doctoral work in Catalan Studies.
Part of our training programme, this event is open to postgraduate students across MA, MRes and PhD programmes.
