Activities and Achievements – report
The Institute has changed the process for bidding for RIMAD QR funds this year. At each of the three deadlines per year, funding requests are sent on the RIMAD Bid form to the Research Development Manager, Jen Clemiston, who scrutinizes them for potential external funding. They are then circulated to the awarding committee of Profs and Heads of Department for decision making. This ensures a close working relationship with the Research Development Manager.
This is supported by the Research Development Manager’s RIMAD Funding Opps mails (now issue 27) which highlight opportunities in this sector. This has improved the range of sources of funding being considered.
RIMAD staff attended the RGS supervisors workshop in February and the away day, and our thanks to RGS for organizing this. Joanna Callaghan has taken on the role of research students admissions tutor has taken on much of the burden of sending out for review the applications and review of RS forms, working with the RGS administrator, Kim Porter.
We are very grateful for the support of administrative staff in RGS and continue to work on the smooth and speedy communication between RGS and RIMAD.
REF plans from staff are being implemented. A collation and self assessment document for the REF was put forward to the University. Research outputs this year have increased (see below)
The institute held the fourth Under the Mask conference. Under the Mask is a conference series at the University of Bedfordshire that focuses upon the multi-faceted issue of the gamer. Culturally, socially, psychologically, professionally, the list of masks worn by the gamer is endless. This conference series aims to penetrate these masks, investigating why they are worn, how they are used, and how they are constructed by gaming culture, game developers, and by the gamers. Under the Mask 4 will be held on the Friday 3rd June 2011. http://underthemask.wikidot.com/
The University of Bedfordshire will host the Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association conference in January 2012, the national subject association in media. The organising team is led by Janey Gordon, Joanna Callaghan (who are on the MeCCSA committee) and Sarah Waller. Alec Charles has plans for the Political Studies Assoc. conference in 2013 and Janey Gordon for a Radio Colloquium in Autumn 2011
The Institute’s Professional Doctorate in Journalism, Media, Cinema and Television started off this year and it drew in speakers of international standing. The PD was lead by Luke Hockley and supported by a strong team.
The Junior Research Institute in PAE continues to thrive under the leadership of Sadie Hunt. It hosts a seminar series and involves students in the practice-led research in the Division.
The Professor Manuel Alvarado collection of books will be formally received at the MeCCSa conference January 2012 which will be at the University of Bedfordshire.
Luke Hockley, Professor of Media Analysis, published with Routledge House the Wounded Healer on Television: Jungian and Post-Jungian Reflections co-edited with Dr Leslie Gardner. He became joint Editor in Chief Dr Huskinson of the peer reviewed International Journal of Jungian Studies, which is published by Taylor and Francis. In August, he was invited to give a keynote lecture at Cornell University, up-state New York titled Healing Fictions: The Transformative Power of Cinema. Dr Hockley has secured a contract with Routledge for his next sole authored book, the working title of which is Somatic Cinema: The Relationship between body and screen – a Jungian perspective.
Jon Silverman, Professor of Media and Criminal Justice, has continued to develop his ground-breaking British Academy-funded research project on the role of the media in reporting war crimes trials in West Africa. He is acting as consultant organizer and chair for an initiative funded by the Taskforce for International Co-operation on Holocaust Education and Research (ITF) to bring together journalists from Central and Eastern Europe with counterparts from the UK media to discuss the media’s role in reporting issues of race and ethnicity. Three three-day conferences will be held in London in 2012/3, which he will chair.
Two new Visiting Professors joined RIMAD this year, Alec Gerlis and Professor William Baker.

Awards
Joanna Callaghan is PI on the awarded AHRC project Ontological Narratives III project. The project is interdisciplinary; investigating the relationship between philosophy and cinema leading to the production of a 20-25 minute film. It is a 12 month project FEC is £60178.40.
Joanna Callaghan PI, University of Bedfordshire
Martin McQuillan, Professor of Literary Theory and Cultural Analysis and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Co-I, University of Kingston
The 'Ontological Narratives' research project is concerned with exploring the relationship between two themes, ontology and narrative, within the spheres of philosophy and cinema leading to the production of a 20-25 minute creative narrative film. Concerned with how philosophy might be 'described' through film, the output of this project will constitute the third film of a series of films that address this issue.
The outputs from this project will be of interest to a wide range of scholars across the arts and humanities engaged in practice led research and interdisciplinary theoretical work, particularly in the fields of film and media studies, philosophy, cultural studies, literary studies and fine art. The outputs will facilitate new ways for disciplines to talk to each other allowing for cross fertilisation and a fresh perspective both from within and outside of the disciplines.

6. Centre reports
CIMARC: The Centre for International Media Analysis
CIMARC SCREENINGS:
The regular series of film screenings is now in its sixth year. Two programmes are run each year, one in Autumn and one in Spring. The screenings support the MA International Cinema, but all our MA students are encouraged to attend. Where possible English subtitles of films in English are turned on, to provide extra language support for students whose first language is not English.
The Autumn series included examples of classic Hollywood and European Cinema, while the spring series featured World cinema and examples of what some have dubbed “Trans-national” cinema.
Research students were employed during the summer of 2010 to produce information dossiers on the films we regularly feature and to improve our publicity.
Technical enhancements made to room A107 during Summer 2010 included the installation of a new projector and highly effective blackout blinds which enable us to show films in near cinema conditions.
The Journalism and the Olympic Games Research Group, JOG
Members of the JOG Group have continued to maintain regular informal contacts throughout the year. Understanding the Olympics, by John Horne and Garry Whannel was published in June 2011, as was Watching the Olympics, edited by John Sugden and Alan Tomlinson. With Professor Kath Woodward of the Open University, JOG members Horne, Tomlinson and Whannel are currently completing a second edition of Understanding Sport.
