At the heart of our University is an incredible community of researchers who play a huge role in shaping Salford's reputation as a hub for transformative knowledge ❤️ It starts in Salford. A place where ideas are formed that shape the world 🌍

Read our latest blogpost about our March trip to Sweden here: southafricanmodernism.com/post/salford-a… We had such a brilliant time visiting colleagues and presenting at the Forms and Formations of African Literature conference @EnglishSalford @Emma_MBarnes @StantonSharma @UoS_ArtsMedia

Over the moon to have won The Dean’s Award for Academic Achievement at @UoS_ArtsMedia Create Awards last week ✨ Massive thanks to @EnglishSalford and @SAModernism for being the most supportive community (and capturing the moment whilst I was in Galway!) ❤️

A Level English and Media students enjoyed a trip to @SalfordUni where they made video essays based upon JM Coetzee's 'Disgrace'. They also enjoyed a tour of the facilities and attended a lecture and poem analysis on 'Love During Apartheid' from author @KerenPoliah @SAModernism

Really soooo happy about this, and particularly because I get to work with the best people.

👏 A team of school academics have secured over £80k in funding for a new exciting project that aims to decolonise English Studies in Further Education. Congrats @SAModernism & @EnglishSalford! salford.ac.uk/news/salford-a…

Prof. Jade Munslow Ong and Chris Turner, along with students from @SalfordUni ran a great workshop with our A Level English students today. Learners recorded for the National College Podcast focusing their thoughts on South African Modernism and their response to unseen texts.

As wedding pictures go it doesn't get much better than Queen Victoria insisting on photobombing her son and his wife, by sitting between them wearing full mourning dress and staring at a bust of her dead husband
