DMLL Research Notes

The DMLL Research Notes serial was borne out of a vision to share the research work of the Department's staff and students (both undergraduate and postgraduate).

Each issue focuses on staff publications and conferences, features a interview with or a profile of a member of staff, and details abstracts of MPhil and PhD theses, as well as abstracts of final year undergraduate projects, and highlights academic programmes and co-curricular student events.
