Creative visual research on media and identities
 

We have been awarded funding for a two-year project, which runs from September 2008 to August 2010, to develop and use new creative and metaphorical methods to explore how young people make sense of their complex mediaworlds.

	Previous study with collage and young people ... and partly builds on Fatimah Awan's work with collage

We are asking teenagers to make 'identity boxes' reflecting their identities and exploring the place of media in their lives.

In early 2009 we are conducting fieldwork at schools in Newcastle, Manchester, London, Southampton, Christchurch, and Cumbria.

Research Fellow on the project is Dr Fatimah Awan.
Principal Investigator is Prof David Gauntlett.
