Projects

Our researchers collaborate on a range of projects at the cutting-edge of research and innovation.

Our work engages with a diversity of disciplinary interests in the arts, humanities and social sciences, and delivers impact aligned with our civic mission ambitions.

Spotlight

We spotlight here four projects that offer a flavour of our collective impact, drawing out the power of our disciplines to make a difference in moving forward new initiatives and research-driven activities within wider society in Wales, the UK and internationally.

Each project takes a fresh approach to an issue facing society today, and is shaped by our expertise and disciplinary strength in English Literature and Creative Writing, Linguistics and Communication, and Philosophy.
