Audience and User Research
Our group was founded in 2005 as a research community applying innovative methods to the study of live and new media audiences. We meet to share work-in-progress, research methods and knowledge of the field; to create and support new projects; and to publish findings.
Post graduate research students and research associates are valued members. Our communications are conducted in informal meetings, an email discussion group and a shared Web space.
The group is strengthened by its membership from across the university. Current members and projects include:
