Steering group
- Collaborations
We develop new alliances within UCL, such the School for the Creative and Cultural Industries and beyond, by promoting conversations between academics, film and media educators, children and young people, community and minority groups, art and design practitioners, and gallery and museum curators.
- Research
We develop transdisciplinary research projects, by partnering with cultural and educational organisations, such as the British Film Institute, the V&A and The British Library, whose interests are based in arts, culture and the creative industries.
Our research principles embrace diversity, equality and inclusion in fields and disciplines related to:
- digital media arts
- game studies and design
- sociology and anthropology
- disability studies
- art and museology
- creative media production with schools and minority groups
- critical perspectives on issues of representation
- gender and queer theory
- cultures of children’s play, film, animation and new media literacies (our longstanding engagement).
