Oxford Research in the Humanities

The University of Oxford is home to an impressive range and depth of research activities in the Humanities. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) is a major new initiative that seeks to build on this heritage and to stimulate and support research that transcends disciplinary and institutional boundaries. Here we feature some of the networks and programmes, as well as recordings of events, and offer insights into the research that they make possible.
