Joseph Siegel on our research
Our department has leading researchers in applied linguistic English studies as well as in literature. The range of specialities is very impressive. Our faculty members’ research work ranges from broad macro-level issues down to very micro-level issues and spans a wide range of contexts.
Sweden has a unique position in relation to English. It’s not an anglophone country, per se, and yet English is, or can be, all around us. Our department has the opportunity to draw resources, insights and research from many different places around the world where English is used. We can really feel the impact of English in our multicultural and multilingual setting. That makes the Department of English at Stockholm University unique.
For example, I’m going to the Seychelles as a part of a research group to study how English is being used in their educational system. I’ll be able to bring that knowledge back to our department, to help inform our teaching and our collective perspective on our students own engagement with English.
