*The Department*

Our research is underpinned by a commitment to social justice and an

encourage applications on under-represented topics and practice-based 
projects, and from under-represented and non-traditional applicants.

We have a strong record of collaboration with partners in the creative

Council, and Shanghai Science & Technology Museum.
