2012-13 Research Groups

The Research Unit (RU) is founded on the premise that research in literature and language will figure differently in the university and society of the twenty-first century—that besides making educated persons, these disciplines address some of the most pressing collective questions of the time.

The RU currently embodies the work of over a hundred scholars: faculty and graduate students in our five departments and beyond. The RU funds research groups in three categories —curriculum development, collaborative projects, and digital humanities— and sponsors nearly one hundred events every year. Colleagues and graduate students from Bay Area institutions are welcome to join.
