Research Celebration Event – Wednesday 14 December 2022

All staff are warmly invited to the Research Celebration Event that will be taking place on Wednesday 14 December in The Slate.

The event will feature presentations and videos showcasing world-leading research and impact work from each of our three Faculties, while also recognising the enormous contribution made by staff from across the University to our excellent performance in REF2021. Running from 3pm until 8pm, it will also offer the chance to catch up with colleagues over drinks and nibbles and to relax at the end of another busy term!

All staff with an interest in research, including those in support, administrative and technical roles, are welcome to come to this event to join the celebration.

Connecting Cultures GRP funding for 2022/23

Connecting Cultures GRP funding for 2022/2023

Connecting Cultures Global Research Priority provides support and resources for those working in and with culture. Our work is loosely structured around three themes:

  • Culture and Community: Research that explores the role of culture in establishing and negotiating relationships between people and places across times and spaces, particularly in relation to migration, human rights, and social justice. Work in this theme explores the concepts of identity, belonging, inclusion/exclusion, justice, and citizenship and seeks to foster cultural exchange that promotes social change.
  • Creativity and Connection: Exploring the value and potential of the arts and culture as vehicles for the interpretation and generation of complex ideas. Work in this theme highlights the development of a wide range of cultural practices and their impact as a means of accessing improved wellbeing. The theme supports work that involves minority communities and people normally remote from academic research and explores the role of performativity, broadly conceived, in stimulating and communicating transformative thinking. Work on cultural value and the value of culture is also central to this theme.
  • Transnational and Global Humanities: Focusing on translation and exchange between or among cultures, from the local to the global. This theme supports innovative projects that seek to understand and address the challenges of a globally connected world, along with the complexities of the past from which it emerged.

We welcome proposals for up to £1,500 (and smaller bids are encouraged) on a rolling basis. We aim to assess your proposal and respond within 2 weeks of submission.

What we fund

Activities that relate to the remit of the themes above and might include:

  • Pump-priming activities that will lead to external grant applications
  • Impact and engagement activities
  • Workshop/conference organisation
  • Visiting Fellows - we co-fund Visiting Fellowships with the Humanities Research Centre, the Institute for Advanced Study or with departments or research centres.
  • Cultural and community-focused events
  • Digital outputs

We welcome applications from all disciplinary areas, especially for activities that involve several people at ÌÇÐÄTV. Cross-disciplinary exchange is encouraged, as are activities that involve collaboration or coproduction with external partners. We especially welcome applications from, or that seek to include, underrepresented groups.
