Dr Tim Beasley-Murray
Tim has written some pretty heavy things (a book onÌý, for example) and some rather lighter things (a psychoanalytic reading of the children’s book,Ìý, for example).Ìý And he has tried to bring these combinations – of the light and the heavy, the ludic and the serious - to the design of the BA Creative Arts and Humanities programme.Ìý On the BA CAH, you’ll find out for yourself how play and games can be a way to get creative on your first-year module,ÌýThe Creative Laboratory.
