Sheffield Hallam University

Empathy & Risk has been developed in partnership with a parallel research community within the Sheffield Hallam University’s Art, Design & Media Research Centre (ADMRC) since 2017.

In 2020, the Culture & Creativity Research Institute (CCRI) was formed to offer strategic leadership for Arts and Humanities Research, Innovation, and Enterprise. It hosts an extraordinary interdisciplinary community of established practitioners, world-leading academics, and dynamic research students. 

Empathy & Risk has been identified as a priority area of interdisciplinary research and continues to convene academic and practitioners communities in partnership with the institution.
