Risks of visibility in a forced spotlight: challenging the ‘impact agenda’
30 June 2022
This is the third event in our series on tackling the pervasive problem of digital hate. We challenge the positive framing of REF and impact to examine the conditions in which this labour is undertaken, given what we know about cultures of digital hate. This event will ask how the politics of visibility and its unequally distributed risks shape our ability to contribute to public debate through online participation.

9th International Conference on Carnival Arts and Cultures
1 July 2022
After the cancellation of Carnivals across the UK and around the world, this season is likely to see most offline events return to the streets. How has the pandemic affected Caribbean Carnival Arts and Cultures? This hybrid conference will bring together researchers, participants, costume designers, musicians, culinary artists, filmmakers and members of Caribbean Carnival organisations in the UK and internationally to showcase and analyse Carnival’s multifaceted manifestations.
Mapping Mentoring in the Creative Industries
Mentoring has become a crucial element of employment practice in the creative industries, nurturing new talent and ensuring that freelancers and businesses survive and thrive. This is especially the case since 2021, as creative enterprise begins to recover from the devastating effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. However mentoring provision can be patchy across the country, with pockets of excellence existing alongside regions where much more could be done.
This innovative research project brings together academic researchers from business studies and the humanities to work directly with national policymakers including Creative UK. Existing mentoring activity across the UK will be recorded, classified and mapped out to provide a clear visual representation of what is already being done across the country, as well as highlighting areas for further development.

CINE/MOBILITY Online Film Festival
“Cine/Mobility” was created by Dalila Missero, post-doctoral researcher in Film Studies at Oxford Brookes University, and funded through Oxford Brookes Collaborative Research and Travel Award grant scheme. The project is organised and developed in collaboration with Analía Fraser. Recordings now available.
The online film festival Cine/Mobility: Latin-American Cinema Across Borders was convened from 5 October to 5 November 2021. This academic and curatorial project explored multiple paths of mobility and border crossing between Latin-America and the Atlantic, focusing on stories and experiences of migration, community-making, solidarity and resistance. The festival consisted of two strands: a program of virtual screenings, Q&As and a series of round tables with filmmakers, curators and programmers.
