Academic research networks

Our academic work is embedded within the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of East Anglia, allowing us to collaborate with numerous scholars who are members of our Affiliated Faculty and at other universities within the CHASE consortium.

BCLT works with a wide variety of other academic partners within the UK and overseas. Recent collaborations have included the conference "Dalit Literature and/in Translation" with the AHRC network "Writing, Analysing, Translating Dalit Literature", and the PETRA-E project with seven other European partners.

National and Regional Partners

BCLT works in collaboration with the National Centre for Writing. 

In addition, we work closely with regional, national and international partners including the Society of Authors, Literature Across Frontiers and English PEN.

We are an Associate Member of the Free Word Centre. 

International Partners

BCLT is a member of the international RECIT network of literary translation centres.

Recent initiatives to make the BCLT Summer School model available abroad have involved working with Arts Council England, the British Council, Penguin China, Penguin Arabia, and Bloomsbury Qatar Foundation Publishing as well as government offices in China and Egypt. We are currently developing models in India and Indonesia.

BCLT has recently signed memoranda of understanding with LTI Korea and the Goethe-Institut London.
