Within the Centre for Creative Practice & Cultural Economy there are six distinguished research hubs which include:

Multimodality embraces representations of a plethora of cultural artefacts – from toys to towns and cities – working with resources including colour, gesture, language, music and sound to create new understandings as to how they function or might function in contemporary digital media.
 

Media Arts produces and analyses the established forms of cinema, radio/sound, television/video and installation at the same time as it concentrates on interactive and locative media that are now emerging because of digital technology.
 

Public History, Memory and Heritage promotes and researches the practice and understanding of public history in the academy, the community and cultural industries.
 

Public Communication provides a focus for research, debate and dissemination of knowledge about ideas, issues and events in public communication.
 

Cultural Economy of Wine conceptualises wine as much as an experience, embracing artisan and symbolic qualities beyond the consumable item. The entire winemaking process is one that should integrate qualities such as individual and community values, terroir, ‘sense of place’ and history with the more tangible elements of vineyard management, harvesting, fermentation, maturation and distribution.
 

Creative Writing promotes and supports research into new writing, creating synergies with government, industry and community bodies in writing, editing and publishing.
