Events

Research group meetings

The group aims to meet around once a month for activities including work-in-progress presentations and conversations about recent publications in the field. If you’d like to attend the meetings as a member, please see contact details on the People page. The group is open to The Open University staff and postgraduate students.

Film and Media Futures series

The group is planning a series of events that will showcase new research in film and media by both early-career researchers and established scholars while also addressing the most pressing industry debates among practitioners. From methodological challenges in archival research to questions about ethics, the environment, and more, the series will provide a forum for creative thinking and exciting discussion. Events featuring guest speakers will be open to the public, with details of forthcoming events posted here and circulated via email.
