Material and Visual Culture: Research and Impact Group
Description
The Material and Visual Culture Research and Impact Group is united by a focus on artefacts, monuments and imagery which underpin some of its key projects. The group fosters new research agendas on the materiality of religion, belief, and identity, identifying new directions in the symbolic, socio-cultural and economic dimensions of monuments and artefacts. Members work with non-academic users to inform national and international collections management practices and develop better protection against theft and illicit trade. The group has given new impetus to artefact and monument research, facilitated by digital visualisation and recording tools with new analytical facilities revitalising research on ceramics, metals and stone monuments.
