Urban Culture Network
Description
The Urban Culture Network brings together schools and departments within the Faculty of Arts and other units within the University of Nottingham to foster interdisciplinary research on urban culture. The network builds links with UK and international institutions to encourage collaborative research in this area.
The Network is devoted to research into the culture of cities all over the world from classical antiquity to the early Middle Ages to the present day. It offers an exciting research environment for postgraduate study, and promotes dialogue between the disciplines. The Network is dedicated to organising regular events and workshops and invites international scholars to contribute to its biennial multi-disciplinary research workshops on themes of urban culture and history, which have resulted in a number of collaborative research projects and conference papers, journal articles and books.
The network's objectives are:
- To stimulate multidisciplinary research on towns and cities
- To encourage research over a wide chronological period from the classical era to the present day
- To encourage research into urban culture that is not limited by geographical constraints
- To foster collaboration between scholars and institutions in the fields of urban studies
- To run workshops and other events on urban culture and history
