The Department is home to—or is a principal participant in—major, collaborative research projects and research groups. These range from data-driven initiatives on Victorian-era newspapers and the Unterberg Poetry Centre, to partnerships with theatres and service organisations, to comparative work on the modern novel with colleagues across Quebec’s English- and French-language universities.
Such collective endeavours evidence both the cross-fertilization among the three areas of the Department's work and the Department's research prominence at McGill, in the academy, and beyond.
