Media, Culture and Creativity Research Group

Researching the interlinked areas of media studies, cultural studies and communication studies.

We draw together expertise, research projects and research activity across the interlinked areas of media studies, cultural studies, communication studies and the many forms of creativity engaged within the School of Journalism, Media and Culture.

Aims

Our aim is to involve not only academics but also a wide range of practitioners and professionals in both critical and creative engagements with the relations between media, creativity and cultural movements, practices and institutions.

Group members are involved in projects that connect with, explore, contribute to, intervene in and impact upon a very diverse range of media and cultural contexts.

    We are involved in a range of funded research projects. Major project topics include:

  • The Martial Arts Studies Research Network (AHRC)
  • Community media-spheres and the creative citizen
  • Research and enterprise in Arts and Creative Technologies
  • Media, community and the creative citizen - creative citizens showcase award
  • iSay: Visitor-generated content in Heritage Institutions
