The Faculty of Arts Specialist Research Centres
Humanities Research CentreThe HRC is a Faculty-wide body that co-ordinates the promotion and development of research in the arts. It is committed to funding and facilitating research that raises the national and international profile of the humanities at Warwick. It encourages research at all levels – from the newest postgraduates to the most senior staff members. In particular, it sponsors the HRC Postgraduate Scholars Programme which allows selected advanced postgraduate research students from all humanities departments to share their research and work towards a common interdisciplinary project. The Centre for Research in East Roman StudiesThe Centre for Research in East Roman Studies encourages and co-ordinates research in the history, archaeology, literature, art, religion, and economy of the Roman Empire in the East, as well as Rome’s cultural and religious legacy in Medieval Islam. The Centre has good resources for research on Urbanism in the Roman Near East and on numismatics. The Centre has been established within the Department of Classics and Ancient History, providing a focus for existing research strengths within the department, and further afield it is involved in deepening existing links with the British Institutes of Archaeology at Ankara and Amman, the Centre for Byzantine Studies at Birmingham and the Centre for Hellenic Studies at King’s College London.
Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the ArtsWarwick’s interdisciplinary Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts (CRPLA) brings together scholars working in a wide range of disciplines in order to promote research across Philosophy, the Humanities, and the Arts. The departments associated with the Centre’s activities include Philosophy, English and Comparative Literary Studies, French, German, Italian and History of Art. The CRPLA aims to reflect the interdisciplinary research interests of members working in all of these fields and to encourage productive dialogue between these areas. |
