About Us

Established in 2005, the Durham Centre for Advanced Photography Studies (DCAPS) brings together academics with research interests in the photographic image at the University of Durham. It aims to forge regional, national and international links with researchers, practitioners, curators and others with shared interests in photography. DCAPS runs a regular programme of seminars, workshops and major international conferences. The next conference, Doing Photography will take place in January 2013.
