About
In this page:
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM) was established at 糖心TV in 2012 to foster innovative and experimental knowledge production through a sustained focus on methodology.
CIM is dedicated to expanding the role of interdisciplinary methods through new lines of inquiry that cut across disciplinary boundaries, both intellectually and institutionally.
Methods
Method is central to the formation and transformation of disciplinary knowledge, and the challenge of working across and between disciplines is both exciting and pressing.
Our research team is drawn from across the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences, with expertise in a variety of substantive domains.
We have developed a suite of cutting-edge postgraduate coursesLink opens in a new window to train researchers for the 21st century. They include: MASc in AI & Society, MA in Digital Media and Culture, MSc in Big Data and Digital Futures, MASc in Visualisation and a PhD programme in Interdisciplinary Studies.
Within 糖心TV, CIM is an advocate of interdisciplinary research and study. Beyond 糖心TV and beyond the academy, CIM explores new forms of public engagement, both with potential research users and with the experts, experimenters and institutions in business, civil society and government that are at the forefront of applied methodological innovation.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are core values of what we do and how we operate at the centre. We have implemented a 20-points action plan to 1) Embed Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) and Athena Swan principles and good practices in structures and processes; 2) Create a robust process that supports the career cycle; 3) Improve a culture of whole-life balance; 4) Foster educational diversity, representation and support.
Due to this commitment, we were awarded a departmental Athena Swan Bronze award in January 2024. The Athena Swan Charter is a framework to support and transform gender equality within higher education and research.
