The Photography Research Excellence Group is as eclectic as its name suggests. It is deliberately as eclectic as photography itself.
The Photography Research Excellence Group forms a network among colleagues across different schools researching photography within the University of Brighton. The group enables sharing of ideas at the early stages of projects when a collegiate collective response is welcome and helpful, as well as dissemination opportunities and support for further project development. Through the connections of colleagues, it links widely dispersed approaches to photography research, ranging from fine art practice directed towards the gallery and museum, to archives, curation, history and criticism, activist photography, moving image and other related disciplines. The group has an international reach and connections to Brighton based organisations including Photoworks, Photo Fringe, Phoenix Art Space as well as with local practitioners, collectors and distributors of photography; within the university to other Research Groups and Centres, and it provides support within the communities of doctoral research students and academic visitors.
