  • Journalism and Communications - leader Dr Alec Charles

  • Interactive Media Research Group - leader Dr Gavin Stewart

  • Practice Research Group - leader Joanna Callaghan

  1. Activities and Achievements – report

The year got off to a good start with the Research Informed Teaching scheme. It was warmly embraced within the Divisions and the Research Institute. Divisions paired up to produce shared plans. Both plans proved highly successful and the MAP, J&C RiT led by Joanna Callaghan and Gavin Stewart was named the best example in the University. Their objectives and achievements are listed below.


In November an initial REF draft was put forward to the University. This included

Targeting funding to support staff members with the potential to become REF members. This has resulted in some considerable success: I particularly want to congratulate Mark Collington on his plan for research in animation, and Elsa Bradley on her research outputs. Other have also done well: Gavin Stewart has co-editing a book, Maria Weiner given papers and shown her creative work. At the next RIMAD board will consider how to build on this success.


In March the Institute validated its Professional Doctorate in Journalism, Media, Cinema and Television. Development was lead by Professor Luke Hockley and supported by a strong team.
The Junior Research Institute in PAE continues to thrive under the leadership of Sadie Hunt. It hosts a seminar series and involves students in the practice-led research in the Division.
Following the sad loss of Professor Manuel Alvarado, the University will be receiving the donation of his book and journal collection. Thanks to Luke Hockley for his work facilitating this and to his widow, Tana Wollen, for her generosity.

Staff achievements
Staff achievements this year have been many and numerous.
Staff members have had personal successes this year: congratulations to Helen Bailey who from the 1 September 2010 became the University’s Professor of Dance, much deserved. She has a number of collaborative dance research projects to her credit, and leads the Division of Performing Arts and English dance company and this year established the Theatre season on the Polhill site. Congratulations too to Janey Gordon on her PhD by publication. Janey joined the University in 1995 after a career in radio broadcasting and this award is a confirmation of her academic achievements over the years in her second career. Her collection Notions of Community, A Collection of Community Media Debates and Dilemmas was published this year. Having established a community radio in the University, she is leading the development of the RadioLab build. I hope it inspires others!
Congratulations to Kathryn Woolfe has published her first book, So you want to be a TV presenter? which is doing well. She gave a seminar on her experiences. We look forward to the next book Kathryn.
Institute members have given a number of keynotes or plenary talks this year:

John Digance and Dave Green featured at the British Short Film Production, Peterkit Film Festival, St Petersburg, and are active film makers.

Luke Hockley gave the plenary at the Jung and Film - Post Jungian Takes on the Moving Image, Confederation of Analytical Psychology, Third Annual Andrew Samuels Lecture, Brunei Gallery, School of Oriental and African Studies,

Keith Jebb gave the keynote at the 16th International Reflective Practice Conference, University of Bedfordshire. Helen Bailey gave the Opening plenary on her e-dance project at the All Hands Meeting and IEEE conference

The institute has had a number of students complete this year: congratulations to them all.

Divisions of Media Art and Production, and Journalism and Communications

Joanna Callaghan, Gavin Stewart

The overall objectives of this RiT action plan for 2009 are to:




  1. Maximize the impact of existing RiT activities through optimum use of existing teaching and research;

  2. Make available in an accessible format the various practice and research resources relevant to student learning;

  3. Provide a range of opportunities for students to engage with practice and research experiences which will allow them to develop transferable skills;

  4. Encourage staff and student researchers to collaborate and bid for internal and external funding that will help them to develop their practice, teaching and research in an informed and co-ordinated manner;

  5. Encourage staff members to undertake professional activities, such as formal professional development and external examining, that will facilitate the diffusion of best practice; and

  6. Promote the practice and research of all staff members

It will seek to achieve these objectives by providing a range of activities from a variety of funding sources including: existing divisional funding, external funders, and RiT funding (discussed in section 9 below).


Examples of RiT activities, to be conducted by RIMAD in conjunction with the Divisions, during 2010 include:-


  • The involvement of students in CIMARC activities especially conferences and research projects,

  • The development of the existing RIMAD Research Seminar Series to include workshop sessions led by practitioner-experts familiar with the latest industry developments

  • The continuing development of the RIMAD and 2D newsletters to provide a pilot platform for the internal dissemination of research and practice, and

  • The further development of student-initiated events, such as, the Film Festival, The Playful Paradox conference, The Under the Mask conference and the Luton Arts Festival which provide our students and staff with organizational challenges as well as an opportunity to attend and engage with respected practitioners and researchers working in relevant fields.
