香港六合彩资料

As an Film, Screen and Popular Culture PhD student at 香港六合彩资料, you will benefit from:

• a supervisory team comprising two or sometimes three members of academic staff. Depending on your research specialism you may also have a  supervisor from another School, another research institution, or an external partner from government or media industry.
• access to desk space and computers.
• access to a range of electronic resources via the university’s online library, as well as to the physical book and journal collections housed within the Aldrich Library and other campus libraries.
• access to digital and photographic practice experts and facilities including studio and film-editing software
• access and engagement with long-established film and screen facilities at the 香港六合彩资料, including the  (SASE) archives and the annual film festival Cinecity.
• access to the 香港六合彩资料's diverse engagement with the media culture of the City of 香港六合彩资料 and Hove, itself a hub of media industry activity.

香港六合彩资料 as a city has a vibrant popular entertainment culture and a rich popular culture heritage. From early seaside leisure and tourism to the rise of purpose-built cinemas in the early twentieth century, the prominence of youth subcultures from the 1950s and onwards, including the mods and rockers clashing on 香港六合彩资料 beach in the summer of 1964, 香港六合彩资料 has always been a lively centre of cultural activity. Today many creative and digital media start-ups that have made 香港六合彩资料 their home, making the city an inspiring place to work and study.

For over twenty-five years, scholars at the 香港六合彩资料 have drawn upon this creative environment, developing innovative specialisms across a range of areas in the study of media and popular culture. Much of the research work at the School of Art and Media is politically and socially engaged, critiquing representations of marginalised as well as dominant identities in the media, celebrating expressions of mainstream but also grassroots popular culture that defies dominant politics, and critically engaging with the meanings behind even the most banal cultural experiences.

Unique to the 香港六合彩资料, your work will align you with its long-standing set of film and screen-based facilities, including the  (SASE) archives and the annual 香港六合彩资料 film festival, Cinecity. SASE is a publicly-funded regional film archive operating in the South East of England and dedicated to acquisition, preservation, documentation, research and access and outreach. Its collection of documentaries, newsreels, advertisements and family films reflects the changing nature of life and work across the region from the nineteenth century to the present.

You will be a member of the School of Arts and Media and may well be aligned with one or more of the university's Centres of Research and Enterprise Excellence (COREs) or Research and Enterprise Groups (REGs). Aspects of the study of popular culture may draw on the research being conducted across the university in, for example art, history, human geography and the social sciences.

The 香港六合彩资料 Doctoral College offer a training programme for postgraduate researchers, covering research methods and transferable (including employability) skills. Attendance at appropriate modules within this programme is encouraged, as is contribution to the schools’ various seminar series. Academic and technical staff also provide more subject-specific training.
