  • Research Report | 2016
    RESEARCH REPORT | 2016 CONTENTS Introduction 01 Collaborative Doctoral Partnership 02 Research projects 05 Publications and advice 08 Exhibitions 11 Conferences, lectures and talks 13 INTRODUCTION 2016 was a further busy year, with our staff and PhD students involved in research across a wide spectrum of activities. Our first Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded international network, Listening to the World, which sought to establish the academic value of the BBC Monitoring Service transcript collection, showed us how invigorating such networks can be. The project concluded with the firm conviction on the part of all participants that the collection was indeed of huge value, and our webpages now carry papers and filmed interviews with the participating academics explaining why this is the case. It was especially rewarding - a few months after our project had finished - to take part in Dr Simon Potter’s workshop Connecting the Wireless World (under the auspices of a newly-awarded Leverhulme Trust research network) run by Bristol and York universities, with which we found a lot of shared interest. A joint publication drawing on both projects will appear as a Media History special issue on radio-monitoring in 2019. A restructure at IWM has seen our curatorial staff and historians redistributed into four new teams – broadly First World War, Second World War, Cold War and late 20th Century, and Contemporary. With fresh thinking on historical topics now made easier through co-locating subject specialists in this way, new possibilities arise, and meeting and talking to those teams was a key feature of 2016. The new Public Engagement and Learning Department has also produced a new and innovative approach to public programming, with themed seasons across all IWM sites now the backbone of the public programme, and we anticipate that the planning of such seasons will produce rich opportunities for research projects.

  • Brief Introduction
    MASTER OF FINE ART HANDBOOK FOR STUDENTS STUDYING FOR THE MASTER OF FINE ART AT THE RUSKIN SCHOOL OF ART 2019 - 2020 1 A WORKING GUIDE TO ESSENTIAL FACTS A SET OF RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT DEFINE THE COURSE AN EXPLANATION OF EXAMINATION CRITERIA A SET OF HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Version 1 Preface This handbook applies to students studying for the Master of Fine Art in the Ruskin School of Art during the academic year 2019-2020. Students starting in other years should refer to the handbook year of issue corresponding with their first year of study. It is intended as both a source of information in its own right, and as a guide to other sources of information. Comments on the handbook are always very welcome and should be sent to the Graduate Studies Administrator (Heather Savage) at [email protected]. The University of Oxford is a large and complicated institution but the Ruskin itself is small and intimate and, we hope, very friendly. This handbook is designed to assist you with the navigation around the many administrative processes that you will encounter whilst studying for your Master of Fine Art. Disclaimer This handbook provides an informal description and interpretation of the Examination Regulations. However, students who have any specific circumstances or issues should consult the Examination Regulations preferably with the help of their Supervisor and Graduate Studies Administrator (GSA). Cases can sometimes arise which need to be referred to the University’s Educational Policy and Standards Committee. The Examination Regulations relating to this course are available at: https://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/examregs/2019-20/moffineart/studentview/ Should there be a conflict or ambiguity between the information in this handbook and the Examination Regulations then you must follow the Examination Regulations as they are the authoritative expression of the University rules and take precedence over the content of this handbook.

However, the financial performance depended heavily on healthy investment returns in the year which contributed an income of £188m and for a second year, the operating surplus fell short of the University’s key financial target of at least 5% of total income. The University faces a period of economic uncertainty as the UK government negotiates an exit from the European Union and will need to manage resources efficiently if it is to maintain a pre-eminent position amongst the world’s leading universities.
