TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities)
TORCH is a research centre based in the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford. It facilitates, supports and promotes research activity of the highest quality that transcends disciplinary and institutional boundaries, and engages with wider and public audiences.
The English Faculty works with TORCH in a number of ways which help us to collaborate with researchers across other disciplines and institutions, from hosting joint events to leading and contributing to TORCH networks and programmes.
Some of our recent events held in collaboration with TORCH include:
This is Shakespeare with Professor Emma Smith
