Location of Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Campus
We offer research degrees in a range of topics linked to staff expertise in the fields of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, with a strong focus on research in the areas of multilingualism, linguistic minorities, and the construction of linguistic, ethnic and cultural identities. A second strand of interest are pedagogical issues related to second-language acquisition, learning and teaching, especially of the English language.
We are contributors to our Faculty's research groups, including the Research Unit for Intercultural and Transcultural Studies (RUITS) and the Justice and Communities Research Unit (JaCRU).
Contents
We host a well-attended postgraduate research seminar, which meets regularly to give students an opportunity to present papers in a supportive setting. This group provides an informal context for postgraduate training and support, but there is also a more formal training programme which offers subject-specific support and training for all postgraduates in addition to the generic training offered by our University. Our Department allocates a substantial sum each year towards the support of postgraduates in the form of bursaries and travel or conference expenses.
You will be allocated two supervisors, with additional members added if necessary.
Academic supervision is available in most areas connected to sociolinguistic and discourse analytic topics, as well as those focusing on pedagogical aspects, but proposals related to the construction of linguistic and cultural identities and minority groups are particularly welcome.
Facilities
You will have access to our outstanding library resources, as well as to the Cambridge University Library. Our Faculty also hosts a number of research groups, which cater for a wider range of interests and are particularly attractive for those with an interdisciplinary approach to academic work.
