Themes

Arts Lab Themes are topics that bring together researchers from across the University.  Theme co-directors organise events and discussions to stimulate collaboration across Colleges and subject areas. A Theme can develop into a Lab, with longer-term support, and twelve of the Themes set up between 2017 and 2021 are now Labs. 

We currently have five active interdisciplinary themes, launched between 2020 and 2022. (One further theme has now completed its work.) Co-directors of Themes can work together using our shared Moodle.
