About our research

We research and study a range of screen-based disciplines, including film and television studies, other media studies and practice-based creative work. The network is co-led by Prof Kirsty Fairclough and Dr Sorcha Ní Fhlainn.

The network aims to:

• provide a supportive community where ideas for research can be discussed and developed
• provoke debate and discussion through seminars, webinars, public lectures, screenings, reading groups and other activities
• develop community-facing projects with a range of potential partner organisations and public platforms

Our experts work in British, American and European cinema history, education and popular screens, gender studies, LGBTQ+ screen culture, disability studies, adaptation studies, popular culture, comedy, postcolonial and transnational film studies, and the study and practice of screenwriting. We also work with media producers, including those in the School of Digital Arts.
