The Department's current areas of expertise and methodological orientations are broadly indicated below. Prospective applicants should also consult individual faculty members' research profiles on the Departmental website for more detailed information. They are also invited to send research inquiries to individual professors.

• A) 19th, 20th, and 21st century narrative;

3. gender issues; and
4. cultural studies.
