Our MA is driven by the sense that the critical and the creative are necessarily intertwined. It has grown out of longstanding teaching and research interests in:
- creative writing
- psychoanalysis
- cultural materialism
- eco-writing
- postcolonialism
- deconstruction
- feminism
- queer theory.
Our faculty includes professional authors and researchers of international standing.
