THINK   |   MAKE   |   DO

The MRL works on initiates projects and may be able to help you with your media-focused or media-based research/projects.

Currently we specialize in the analysis and production of video and audio projects with additional skills in web and other digital production as well as planning and working with social media.

• We regularly film the Arts and Humanities Colloquium and have done for nearly a decade

• We consult on and support faculty and student projects

• We offer workshops and discussion groups focused on learning or debating media topics

• We conduct our own original research (see the Project pages in the menu above)

• We offer consultative ‘service agreements’ to make things for you, but we’d rather work with you to help you learn how to make them yourself – focusing on building capacity rather than outputs
