The Department of Anglo-American Studies (DEAA) was formally established in May 2000. The articulation between research and teaching in the areas of English language and Anglophone cultures and literatures is one of the DEAA's main objectives. The DEAA has also increased its scientific and pedagogical collaboration with similar departments in national and foreign universities.
The Department provides logistical and academic support for a wide range of research activities carried out by its teaching staff, in close coordination with research units - in particular with the FLUP branch of CETAPS - the Centre for English, Translation and Anglo-Portuguese Studies. In recent years, the DEAA has also been the academic and functional headquarters for internationally-based postgraduate programmes funded by the European Commission, in particular the Erasmus Mundus TEEME doctorate (Text and Event in Early Modern Europe) and the MOVES programme - Migration and Modernity: Historical and Cultural Challenges (European Joint Doctorate - Horizon 2020).
Independently or in collaboration with other FLUP departments, the DEAA teaches curricular units in a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate academic programmes at FLUP:
