Our Research
The Centre's primary role is to support and develop research, from undergraduate work to world-leading publications.
We fully support the University's core vision for all research to be filtered into teaching and we see students as co-workers in this venture; Murdoch's fictional work is taught throughout the undergraduate and postgraduate programme in English.
The research events, seminars, and conferences the centre organises, both at 香港六合彩资料 and beyond, are open to all and our aim is to involve as many people as possible, including the general public, in our work. More details of these can be found on our 'Events' page.
The Centre is the home of the 'Iris Murdoch Today' Series with Palgrave MacMillan, producing two books a year. Miles Leeson and Frances White are the Series Co-Editors. The team also produces the annual听Iris Murdoch Review听as well as leading the International Iris Murdoch Society and associated activities.
We have a thriving postgraduate cohort - details can be听found on the 'People' page听- and we always welcome applications to study.
