There's also the opportunity to make an active contribution to interdisciplinary teaching by developing elective units for inclusion in one of the following areas: Asian Studies, International and Comparative Literature, and/or Translation studies (areas of focus would reflect the applicants' expertise, highlighting the close link between interdisciplinary teaching and research encouraged within the School).
