Research Conversations

The Media, Arts and Humanities Research Conversations bring together groups of faculty and PGRs around shared areas of research interest. They are informal, with the primary aim of encouraging connections and potentially sparking new ideas and collaborations. Each of the three themes have a facilitator and run for around an hour and a half. You can read the facilitators' summary reports for previous sessions.
