Transnational Studies Research Group

About us

The Transnational Studies Research Group draws together University of Worcester academics and students, as well as external scholars with an interest in transnational studies. It includes researchers in the humanities and social sciences.

The Transnational Studies Research Group is integral to the purpose and activities of the Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts, in particular enriching undergraduate teaching and postgraduate research.
