The Centre for Applied Research in the Arts (CARA) is based in the School of the Arts at the University of Hull. It features researchers in Drama, Music and Screen often working in collaboration with colleagues across the University and beyond. CARA recognises the growing number of projects in the School that involve research about or with the arts that have a direct “real-world” application. For example, projects may involve arts-based practice in education, health or community settings, or engage with issues, such as the environment.
There is a strong emphasis in CARA on pursuing research that has impact, that is, which has an effect on, change or benefit beyond academia, such as to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, or quality of life. University colleagues in CARA are keen to collaborate with external practitioners and organisations, exchange knowledge with partners and build projects with impact.
