WELCOME TO CASiLaC

  • The Centre for Advanced Studies in Languages and Cultures (CASiLaC) supports a transdisciplinary culture of collaborative research across the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at University College Cork.

  • CASiLaC is motivated by the critical role that Modern Languages — encompassing areas as diverse as literature, drama, film, linguistics, area studies — can play within the Humanities.
