School of Creative Arts Research Forum - SCARF
The School of Creative Arts Research Forum (SCARF) normally meets weekly throughout the academic year. SCARF is an active series of talks and papers by academic staff, postdoctoral researchers, postgraduate students and occasional visitors introducing the wider School research community to some of the methods and current theoretical concerns in the field. The forum also provides an opportunity for discussion and the sharing of ideas.
