The School’s reach spans Europe, the Arab world, Russophone Eurasia, Hispanic America and the Far East, and their mutual socio-cultural, intellectual and linguistic relations.

The School’s research focuses on the transnational study of literatures, cultures and histories. Translation – understood in its broad sense of transmission, interpretation and sharing of languages, ideas and histories – underpins the School’s collective practices. It has particular research strengths in the following areas: medieval and early modern studies, visual arts and culture and the relationship between the sciences and the humanities.
