CVAC takes a generous view of what constitutes visuality and visual culture, enabling a broad geographical, topical and chronological scope.  The Centre acts as a platform for connection amongst our research community, supporting interdisciplinary conversations and shared experience, under the banner of 'the Visual'. 

• CVAC connects colleagues from across the academy, whose interests range from the study of the physical environment and its many representations, through word and image, art and religion, creative practice, visual representation within medicine, the scientific study of vision and visual processes, film and image making, the history of photography, architecture, urban culture, heritage and philosophical aesthetics, to gaming, AI, digitisation, digital culture and beyond.
• See our events archive for details of our programme of pioneering visual research methods, harnessing expertise from amongst our membership, and the emergent 'Visualities of Extraction' research theme, resulting in creative 'research sandpit' conversations and an annual symposium.
