What's new in research?

Visit Banks Mill during our winter Open Studios to meet over 50 artists, designers, makers and creative services businesses. 

In this talk, Dr Sam George draws on the research notes that Stoker made on the vampire figure and probes into some of his more folkloric sources. It explores the many attributes of the Count as vampire and explains why Dracula casts no reflection in a mirror.

In England, half of post-16 secondary education focuses on work skills over personal qualities. As in Europe and globally, 'technical' or 'vocational' pathways are rising on the political agenda, yet in institutions such as further education colleges, their programmes and teachers have been impoverished.

We are delighted to showcase the breadth of our research projects through a number of talks and poster presentations. You will hear about our solutions to real-world problems across the disciplines of sport, psychology, biomedical science, health and social care, and data science.
