CONSELLERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN E ORDENACIÓN UNIVERSITARIA

The resolution of the official funds announced by this Consellería de Educación y Organización Universitaria for the consolidation and the organization of Sistema Universitario de Galicia (Galician University System) competitive research unities was published in Diario Oficial de Galicia dated 31st August 2007. The Research Group CLEU obtained the funds for a period of two years, extendable for another, within the "modalidade de grupos emerxentes promovidos por investigadores mozos" ("category of new groups promoted by young researchers"). The account of the second annual fee was cofinanced by the FEDER funds of 2007-2013.

Thanks to this support we have been able to strengthen the group through the incorporation of research assistants and the organization of events. Our intention is to continue improving the group and fostering its international projection by increasing the number of publications and our participation in international projects and networks.

 


CONSELLERÍA DE INNOVACIÓN E INDUSTRIA

One of the main aims of our research group is the participation in I+D Projects financed by public official announcements. The combination of the different research themes of the members of the group led to a common proposal to study literature and film which promote an ecocritical view of contemporary culture and literature. Our research project, entitled "Ecoloxía humana: as literaturas e culturas de Estados Unidos desde a etnocrítica e a ecocrítica" ("Human Ecology: Literatures and Cultures of the United States from the Ethnocriticism and Ecocriticism"), was funded by the "Programa de promoción xeral de investigación do Incite 2007" ("Incite Program for the improvement of general research 2007"), for an initial period of three years (ref. PGIDIT07PXIB104255PR).
