Research in the Faculty of Humanities
The Faculty of Humanities has a strong tradition of interdisciplinary research as well as discipline-based research of individual academics. This is managed through the Schools and Centres of the Faculty, brought together through the Faculty Research Committee and Kent Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (KIASH).
The Faculty Research Committee comprises the Dean of Humanities, the Faculty and School Directors of Research, the Director of KIASH and the Faculty Director of Graduate Studies. The Committee provides an overall framework for research, formulates policy and gives direction to KIASH.
KIASH organises, supports and coordinates an annual programme of research activity in all fields of the humanities and in cognate areas of the social sciences. It enhances the research culture of the Faculty and encourages new and interdisciplinary research.
Faculty Research Funding - the Faculty supports research through a variety of funding schemes.
Research support for the Faculty is provided by the Research Funding Officer. Please contact Lynne Bennett in Research Services on Ext 4799 (l.bennett-282@kent.ac.uk) for more information.
