School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies
We're a welcoming community that spans many fields, from broadcast journalism to philosophy, public policy and translation studies. But what brings us all together?
We help you think more broadly. We push you beyond your specialist subject, with interdisciplinary research and flexible modules. You'll get a more rounded view of the world, in which language and communication, culture, philosophy and politics blend and interlink.
We help you think more clearly. You'll quickly start shaping your future beyond graduation, exploring internship opportunities, and overseas study. You'll build your employment portfolio, and tap into placements with, among others, NGOs and MPs.
We help you think more deeply. Together, we'll explore global and local questions of society, morality, and cultural politics. And you'll be guided by researchers who are experts in their fields.

International Interdisciplinary Workshop: Ageing in Japan and the UK
- Sep 9, 2021 00:00AM
- Online
- Conference
- Free
This is a partnership event between UEA and Tohoku University. The workshop will offer an interdisciplinary platform from which to examine how, with a particular focus upon Japan and the UK, advanced economies might learn from one another and develop more integrated medical, social, economic and politico-administrative systems in order to contribute towards developing systemic improvements, reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience. This will be targeted at improving engagement with, and development of, better integrated responses to the challenges presented by ageing society. Our aspirational agenda is to develop research networks that adopt methodologically credible interdisciplinary approaches and responses to practical problems arising from ageing society in Japan and the UK, with a view to wider application across advanced economies. The workshop, therefore serves as a starting point from which to advance this agenda.
