*The Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities*

CAMC is home to a community of scholars and PhD students whose 
multimodal interests, world-leading research and unparalleled creative 
practice comprise CAMC’s distinctive research climate. CAMC’s uniquely 
transdisciplinary focus promotes a vital sharing of methods, approaches 
and viewpoints that enriches students’ experience, while within 
specialised disciplines they develop expertise in an environment of 
collegiality that is unsurpassed. Innovative and outward-facing, CAMC’s 
researchers explore historical, social and political dimensions of 
cultural production in theory and practice. Pursuing excellence with 
impact, our research reaches across disciplinary boundaries, infusing an 
arts and humanities perspective into research in medicine, transport and 
mobility, social justice and sustainability, among others. Our 
transdisciplinary research enables holistic, transformative engagements 
with complex social, intellectual and ethical problems, drawing on the 
past to imagine and create change in the future.
