Cinematic Arts at Ulster University is a new and vibrant area of 
research that combines theory and practice of moving image arts in the 
new digital media age. Applicants can propose cinema studies or 
practice-based research topics and/or related research questions that 
unearth and celebrate diverse new filmmaking voices, such as women, 
LGBT+, neurodiverse, indigenous and people of colour.

The Cinematic Arts PhD at Ulster University recognises long-held racial, 
gender-based and colonialist hegemonic and white-dominated prejudices in 
the study of neglected cinemas of diversity and encourages all 
interested applications to submit proposals to address the lack of 
scholarship in these areas: cinemas of the Global South, indigenous, 
black and MENA cinemas, i.e. study proposals beyond the dominant Western 
‘global’ Hollywood and European economies of production, distribution 
and exhibition. Methodologies informed by post-colonial, critical race, 
Indigenous, feminist, and/or queer thought and the theory/history of 
moving image media and culture in the context of the Global South are 
particularly welcome.

Proposals are welcomed in a wide range of areas relating to staff 
research interests. With a combined experience of over fifty years in 
filmmaking, television production, animation and the creative 
industries, our experienced team of internationally established, 
research-active staff are able to offer supervision across a wide range 
of subjects and themes, from film history and national cinemas to 
contemporary filmcraft and emerging virtual reality technologies.

Where research proposals span various disciplines, a supervisory team 
can be assembled across schools and faculties to meet the needs of the 
projects. Our Diverse New Filmmaking Voices in Cinema & TV PhD provides 
you with an opportunity to study a range of specialist topics within the 
areas of onscreen representation, themes and narratives; creative 
leadership and filmmaking project teams; industry access and 
opportunities; and audience development.

Proposals are sought in the following areas of staff expertise: cinemas 
of the Global South, transnational cinema/screens, marginalised 
communities in pop culture; filmmaking collectives; countering hegemonic 
narratives; factual and fictional forms, practices and relations; 
filmmakers that have been diminished or misrepresented; and political 
oppositional cinema and TV. Applicants are invited to make contact with 
us in advance of application to discuss the feasibility of their chosen 
topic.

Our experienced team of internationally established, research-active 
staff have the critical theoretical experience required to lead the 
supervision of a research degree in Political and Resistance Media. 
Their recent publications include:/Boody Women: Women Directors of 
Horror/(2022); A/lternative Media in Contemporary Turkey: 
Sustainability, Activism, and Resistance/(2018);/Make America Hate 
Again: Trump-Era Horror & The Politics of Fear/(2020);/Resist! Protest 
Media and Popular Culture in the Brexit-Trump Era/(2020);/Social 
Movements and their Technologies: Wiring Social Change/(2016); and/The 
Revolution will be Hacktivated/(2016).
