The 16th International Gothic Association Conference adopts the conference theme ‘Gothic Interruptions’ in order to encourage an interrogation of the ways in which Gothic and horror can frame such contemporary (and historical) events as moments that are also loaded with possibility.

The School of English are absolutely delighted with the news that Trinity has been ranked 25th in the world in the QS subject rankings 2022 for English Language and Literature. An improvement from last year's already impressive achievement of 28th. It is a fantastic achievement for the School, a demonstration of the stellar reputation our School has internationally, and a testament to the hard work of all colleagues and our students.
