The Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies offers an exceptionally stimulating environment, where interdisciplinary research flourishes across film, television and media topics, including journalism, media history, the creative industries, memory studies and practice-led research. Our research aims for critical engagement with technologies, old and new, and poses theoretical, aesthetic and political questions associated with the rise of digital media. In addition to the Birkbeck Library, research students have access to the nearby Senate House Library, various libraries of the University of London colleges, the British Library, as well as other specialist collections and institutions in central London, including the British Film Institute library. They may also take advantage of practical film-making opportunities offered through the Derek Jarman Lab. Current research areas in the Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies include: cultural studies, digital media culture and technology, film industries and cinema cultures (British, European and worldwide), gender and sexuality studies, histories of television, journalism studies and investigative reporting, media studies, multimedia design, the music industry, and the visual arts.
