The Centre for Urban and Community Research is one of the longest standing research centres at Goldsmiths. Founded in the Sociology Department in 1994 by Nikolas Rose, the Centre’s mission promised to ‘encourage, develop and support multidisciplinary research upon all aspects of economic, social and cultural life in cities and communities, with the aim of promoting excellence in research and developing basic social scientific understanding.’ Thirty years since its founding and the centre has produced many key research projects and evaluations, exhibitions, conferences and landmark publications. It has also built a community of scholars through its work with successive Visiting Research Fellows, PhD students and through the two MAs that emerged from the Centre and through its connections in the local community. At the core of CUCR is a commitment to providing research that speaks to the local area. This cuts through from the early Deptford City Challenge evaluation of the 1990s to the Impact Evaluation of 999 Club in Deptford in 2023. However, as this exhibition shows the local is always approached with a global imagination.
This exhibition takes a visual path through CUCR’s history. It showcases work from staff, students and alumni, exploring the resonances and dialogue between research at CUCR and student work. particularly work emerging from the Photography and Urban Cultures MA.
