CASiLaCCentre for Advanced Studies in Languages and Cultures

Welcome to CASiLaC

The Centre for Advanced Studies in Languages and Cultures (CASiLaC) at University College Cork exists to nurture interdisciplinary collaborative research in the plurilingual and pluricultural humanities. Part of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Future Humanities Institute, CASiLaC has a proud record of growing collaborative research activities from the grass-roots by providing seed-funding and public visibility for new research initiatives, many of which will go on to attract external funding. CASiLaC offers unique opportunities for Postgraduate and Postdoctoral researchers to play a leading role developing new research agendas by working alongside established academics, including by co-convening its research clusters. Some of the Centre’s clusters also provide invaluable peer-support for researchers working in challenging areas such as gendered violence. We advocate for the plurilingual and pluricultural humanities by reaching out locally, nationally and globally to engage with debates and communities beyond the English-speaking world.
