Centre for Research and Development | CRD 

The Centre for Research and Development oversees all research at the University of Brighton's College of Arts and Humanities:

• fostering and promoting research excellence across the spectrum of arts disciplines: creative and performing arts, architecture, design, media and the humanities
• supporting, encouraging and developing the research activities of staff and postgraduate students in their pursuit of fresh insights, new knowledge and understanding
• enhancing society's understanding of human culture and creativity, past and present.

Research in the creative and performing arts, architecture, design, media and the humanities is at the forefront of a thriving research culture at the University of Brighton. The College of Arts and Humanities has systematically pursued an explicit strategy of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, inter-relating critical theory, contemporary practices and their histories. This has generated fresh fields of interdisciplinary enquiry  stimulating insights that question current practices and foster new understandings.
