Dr Grace A Williams

Research Forum Digital Producer

As the Research Forum Digital Producer I lead on the creation and delivery of digital content, campaigns and projects related to the Research office’s activity. This includes developing and coordinating research communications across The Courtauld and publicly through the Courtauld Research Forum’s social media accounts (@courtauldres).

I manage the Research Forum’s rich archive of recorded events online, initiating and maintaining this extensive free resource on The Courtauld’s YouTube Channel.

Alongside Editor in chief Dr Stephen Whiteman, I oversee the production of Courtauld Books Online, a series of Open Access scholarly books published by The Courtauld Institute of Art. I also annually produce the online edition of Immediations, The Courtauld Institute’s peer-reviewed journal of postgraduate research.

Between 2019- 2024 I supported events as part of Material Witness, a multidisciplinary training programme for doctoral students across the CHASE consortium, alongside Professor Alixe Bovey and Dr Teresa Lane.

I hold a practice-led PhD in Fine Art and Philosophy from Birmingham School of Art supported by the Gertrude A Bowater Scholarship. Thesis: The Supernatural Sex: Women, Magick & Mediumship, Assembling a Field of Fascination in Contemporary Art. Independently I work as an artist and researcher. Prior to joining the Courtauld I held visiting lecturer positions at Royal College of Art and Glasgow School of Art alongside a two year post as Lecturer in Fine Art and co-programme leader for the Digital Arts MA at De Montfort University.
