The Moving Images Research Group (MIRG) supports and develops the newly launched Cinema and Media Studies Ph.D. Certificate program. In 2011-2012, the group seeks not only to expand its colloquium series, but also to energize and broaden the MIRG community through a series of experimental models.
Project Goals
MIRG's overall aim is to develop, invigorate and sustain research and pedagogical exchange on “moving images” at UW. Other goals include:
- Fostering graduate student leadership through the MIRG graduate interest group,
- Building our Ph.D. Certificate in Cinema and Media Studies,
- Integrating with art gallery and museum resources on campus, and
- Incorporating the energy and critical acumen of undergraduates as well.
