Activities

PRISMA conducts several research and outreach activities that promote interdisciplinary collaboration as well as the development of innovative pedagogical avenues both at a practical and theoretical level. By establishing new and strengthening existing knowledge-sharing opportunities, we seek to contribute to the overall research and pedagogical environment across the Westerdals Department of Film and Media (WIFM), the School of Art, Design and Media (SADM) and Kristiania University College.

As research hypotheses are further tested and new findings emerge from our members’ pedagogical practices, we will further focus our efforts on the development of new research articles and expositions for submission to key events organized by our educational partners and networks. In this way, PRISMA aims to actively engage and disseminate our work both in Norway and internationally.
