Bristol Photography Research Group

Description

The Bristol Photography Research Group, based in the School of Creative and Cultural Industries at UWE Bristol, explores the extensive role of photography in contemporary society, spanning across various disciplines such as physical and social sciences, linguistics, education, law, business, and health. They engage in practice-based and written research, partnering with organisations to expand knowledge and impact.

Their activities include hosting conferences, publishing articles, and organising events to delve into various aspects of photographic discourse. They focus on five main areas: photographic methodologies and practices, the role of photography in arts and culture, the ethical and societal implications of photography, the history and theories of photography, and photographic objects and technologies.

The group emphasises multidisciplinary collaboration, linking different experts (e.g., a landscape photographer with an architect) to foster new dialogues. This is embodied in their Photographic Dialogues series, which facilitates conversations between scholars from different disciplines to create new understanding in their respective fields.
