Departmental Research Areas

The Department of English at CUHK is actively committed to exploring a broad range of cutting-edge and interdisciplinary research themes in both Applied English Linguistics and English Literary Studies. Our dynamic, inspiring, and collaborative research environment is fostered through the pursuit of a variety of knowledge exchange activities, such as academic publications, research projects, visiting scholar programs, public lectures, conferences, and workshop events. While the Department has research interests in many fields, our research is focused on seven core areas:

World Englishes and the Politics of English
Postcolonial Studies & World Literature
Digital Humanities
Literary Studies
Creative Arts and Practice
Critical Theory
Multilingualism
