Hello all, and hope that the summer is finally reaching you wherever you may be !
I wanted to set up this series of Blog posts (coming over the next few days) to showcase and highlight the impressive work that’s being done my our Gender Studies (applied) MLitt and MSc students on their Research Placement project (GNDPP04). We’ve had a really interesting and varied set of placements this year with our continuing partners in industry, education and the third sector including: Creative Stirling, the National Library of Scotland (Moving Image Archive), Glasgow Women’s Library and many others…
Our students work with their allocated placement/academic and apply their learning from the programme (and their own bespoke set of skills) to projects that are wider ranging (archival, marketing, textual and semiotic analysis, programming and curation) and produce end products alongside their academic writing that extend to film programmes and workshops, printed Zines, digital film archives and podcasts.
I hope you’ll find some of these projects interesting and if you want to know more about them – please don’t hesitate to email me and I can put you in touch with the student researchers themselves.
Second up is Amelia Armit’s Research Placement with the Moving Image Archive/National Library of Scotland working on a project to celebrate the Glasgow Media Co-op: https://mediaco-op.net/news/media-co-op-celebrates-20-years-since-we-stared-in-2004/ Amelia worked with the media co-op as a client of the Moving Image Archive to curate a package of films from their own archive, digitised and now accessible at the Moving Image Archive itself based in Kelvinhall. Alongside this Amelia also produced a celebration Zine which was circulated at the 2- year anniversary event in June. Some images from the event and Amelia’s final e-Zine can be see below:
