Research interests in French Studies cover all areas of French literature, culture and history, including Medieval studies, sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century studies, French theatre, French cinema, travel literature, francophone postcolonial studies (including French language representations of India), modern and contemporary France, and sociolinguistics.
Overview
Supervision is offered on most areas of French literature, culture and language. Library resources are excellent in these areas. PhDs submitted and awarded recently include:

• Competing Colonial Discourses in India: French and English Language Representations of the Indian Uprisings (1857–59)
• After the End of Travel: Twentieth-Century French Travel Literatures and Theories
• Victim or Goddess: The Representation of the Indian Woman in Literature in French 1744–1930.
Applications are welcomed from both full-time and part-time students. For research degrees, we would normally expect applicants to have a BA or BSc degree of 2:1 standard (and also an MA) in a subject relevant to the proposed field of research.
