An interactive training session exploring how creative practice can bring about impactful research outcomes. Open to faculty and PGRs. All welcome. 

Register for your free place via Eventbrite. 

Applications are open to support the development of teams or networks to work on innovative research questions, methodologies, ideas, and approaches which broadly relate to our remit: critical digital humanities and archives; AI, computational society, and culture; experimental ecologies; and creative computing and play.  

The thematic approach for this year's call is Data Justice. The call is open to researchers at Sussex regardless of discipline, contract type, or career level. Multidisciplinary teams are particularly encouraged.  

Proposed projects should work towards preparing the groundwork for a proposal to be submitted for external funding in the medium to long term. This is a key criterion.

The annual Oxford Art Journal Essay Prize for Early Career Researchers launched in 2018, to coincide with the journal’s fortieth year of publication, and seeks to further enhance Oxford Art Journal’s international reputation for publishing innovative scholarship. The Essay Prize for Early Career Researchers aims to encourage submissions from British and international doctoral students, as well as early career researchers who are within five years of gaining their PhD.

1. Publication of the winning essay in Oxford Art Journal
2. £500 worth of Oxford University Press books

CHASE Dialogues - Culture and Migration is part of CHASE Dialogues, a discussion series foregrounding the significant roles the arts and humanities have played and continue to play in big discussions today.

How can storytelling be deployed as a tool to resist dehumanisation and participate in political critique? Can immersive performance decolonise discourse on culture and migration? What can experimental visual arts tell us about experiences of diaspora and migration? How can the spatial politics of music production affect shifting conceptions of identity? In what ways can the arts and humanities inform policy making on international migration?

Panellists will discuss how art and cultural production of various forms can affect representation, agency, resistance, celebration and politics in relation to migration and culture.
