Research

Research in the School of Arts is conducted in the disciplines of Dance, Film, Music, Sound Recording and Theatre. Our research within these areas is particularly distinguished by strategic emphasis and the development of innovative relationships between theory, analysis and creative practice in the arts from the late nineteenth century to the present day.

Some of our research explores new interdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary methods and topics. We support and value both the work of the individual scholar and collaborative research projects. Examples of the latter include those embracing disciplines within the School, those involving other areas of expertise in the University (with particular interests in science-art interactions), and those which are based in relationships with external partners in the creative and sound recording industries, at regional, national and international level.
