About Us
Our Department is the largest of its kind in England, with more than 30 full-time lecturing staff, many Research Associates, and a strong community of around 170 PhD students.
For the last forty years, we have been known for cutting-edge empirically-based theoretical and applied research in a wide range of research areas. We constantly strive to make links with potential users of our work. One of our latest developments is the £3.5million ESRC funded Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science.
