Bodies and Material Culture Research Group

Description

The Bodies and Material Culture Research Group brings together brings together scholars of health and intimacy, politics and identity, consumption and urban planning and visual and material culture with the intention of promoting intellectual exchange and collaboration in this new field.

The Centre promotes a number of activities, including high-profile research projects, a seminar series, and workshops.

Founded in 2010, over the past decade the Centre has secured large grants for three major research projects as well as conferences and an international network. Since then the centre has increasingly served as a base for collaborative work with museum and heritage centres to share knowledge, develop historical research for curatorial use and explore how museum visitors experience history in sensory and digital worlds.
