Leeds Arts Humanities Research Institute

The Leeds Arts and Humanities Research Institute exists to bring together research from across the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Cultures at the University of Leeds.

Led by its Director, Professor Alison Fell, and acting Deputy Director, Associate Professor David Higgins, our staff strive to create opportunities for collaborative and interdisciplinary work for researchers at every stage of their careers, by supporting the development of emerging research projects, building a context for creative scholarly discussions, and helping with every stage in the process of winning and running successful research bids.

Facilities available include office space for visiting postdoctoral fellows and professors, and fully equipped seminar and meeting rooms. 

We work closely with the Cultural Institute, who work to foster interdisciplinary research and public engagement events on culture, in line with the University's Culture research theme.

We are a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and of the Consortium of Institutes of Advanced Studies.
