Biography

Nina Parish joined as Head of School of Modern Languages and Cultures and Professor of French at the University of Glasgow in August 2025. She previously worked at the University of Stirling and the University of Bath. She has a wide range of teaching and PhD supervision experience as well as research interests across twentieth and twenty-first-century French and Francophone literature, visual arts and film, museum and memory studies as well as language teaching and translation. She researches representations of difficult history, the migrant experience and multilingualism in the museum space and has worked on a range of collaborative grants. Most recently, she was part of the DisTerrMem team, working on an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project, which examined the management of competing, often highly antagonistic, memories of disputed territories across borders focusing on the case studies of Armenia, Pakistan, Poland and Lithuania. She is also an expert on the interaction between text and image in the field of modern and contemporary French Studies. She has published widely on this subject, in particular, on the poet and visual artist, Henri Michaux.
