Overview
It is a key tenet of the track that the academic study of English literature can be used to reflect on the ways that people - as individuals and as groups - interact with one another, and that it provides a catalyst for insight into contemporary social debates.
Literature captures the separation and the solidarity of its writers and audiences in a manner particular to itself: it is a multidisciplinary practice that is as various as the texts it studies.
At University of Groningen, the English Literature and Culture programme's core themes of conflict and co-operation are linked to sustainable society, a research priority of the university.
