Overview
About the programme
Portuguese Studies at The University of Manchester plays a key role in national and international research contexts through our publications, seminar and conference activity, and our innovative approach to the configuration of the discipline boundaries in which we work.
Our publications and supervisory interests include cultural and literary history and theory, music, memory, history, and urban culture. In recent years, we have successfully supervised to completion PhD students in subjects covering our whole range, but with a particular clustering around Latin American, Gender, and Cultural/Literary Studies topics.
