Performance, Cultures and Politics Research Group

Description

Performance, Cultures and Politics is an interdisciplinary Research Group at Brunel University of London investigating the politics of performance and contemporary cultures. It seeks to understand the ways that performance makes sense of and responds to contemporary contexts and challenges. Its members come from across the arts, humanities, politics, cultural geography, history, sociology and cultural studies, and its research engages with knowledges and practices from across the Global South and the North.

The group describes itself as committed to addressing issues of social justice and in/equities through lenses of ableism, capitalism, caste, class, colonialism, environment, gender, race and sexuality. Its activities promote international, interdisciplinary research by involving Brunel, UK and international researchers, industry professionals and practitioners from the public sector and government in research projects, presentations, dialogues and panel discussions, and it has run an online seminar series in each academic year from 2022-23 to 2025-26.
