University of London Institute in Paris

About

The University of London Institute in Paris occupies a unique position among the rich landscape of British research institutions. A centre of Franco-British academic and cultural exchange for over 100 years, research at the Institute benefits from both the diversity and richness of the University of London, to which we belong, and cultural and political life of the city of Paris, where we are located. Much of our work is inherently preoccupied with projects and perspectives that build upon the multilingual and transnational nature of our institution and its history.

Research at the Institute reflects our intercultural and interdisciplinary environment and seeks to foster productive exchange between questions emerging in the fields of cultural production, international politics and environmental humanities.

Research at the Institute in Paris is grouped into four distinct themes:

· Mobilities, Environmental Politics and City Studies

· Literary Studies, Cultural Translation and Multilingualism

· Contemporary Politics and Critical Theory

· Knowledge Diplomacy: Research, Innovation and Higher Education Institutions in International Relations

Researchers at the Institute address issues of environment, ecology and climate from the perspectives of the environmental humanities (including literature, arts, performance and translation); French and international critical theory; international politics; political ecology; post- and decolonial studies; urban studies; and critical Indigenous studies.
