Research Centre for Studies in Otherness & Alterity

The international research Centre for multidisciplinary studies in Otherness and Alterity is a collaborative project between the University of Aarhus, Denmark and Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, Ireland.

The Centre aspires to initiate vigorous and productive interventions into nominal areas of otherness as a site for critical, socio-political, cultural, and literary exploration. As a multidisciplinary project, it will also involve discussions and readings that relate to cultural theory, continental philosophy, sociology, postcolonial studies, psychoanalysis, gender studies, Gothic studies, postmodernism and poststructuralist theory.

The Centre promotes and envisages expanding and productive international collaboration; hence, we gladly invite fellow academics, writers, artists, individuals, and institutions from all countries, with guests from around the globe, to convene and discuss representations of otherness in the arts.

We look forward to exciting international and intercultural events.
