RESEARCH GROUPS
Cruising the 70s was composed of four projects that explored specific shared themes and research questions, made use of complementary methodologies, and worked toward transforming contemporary cultural, social and political understandings of queer history, and the legislative treatment of LGBTQ people across Europe in the present.
Cruising the 70s consisted of four research groups located at Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh (Scotland, UK), Humboldt-University Berlin (Germany), University of Warsaw (Poland) and University of Murcia (Spain). The project was led by Dr Glyn Davis at Edinburgh College of Art. Each group included researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines including art history, art practice, film, cultural studies, design and the history of sexuality. Details of the work and staff of the research teams can be found below.
In addition, a network of arts institutions and cultural partner organisations based in Scotland and from across Europe supported the project.
