Dr Carol MacGillivray comes from a background of animation and film editing and spent 20 years working across documentary‚ drama‚ music videos‚ and commercials. Carol taught film at the Royal College of Art and became a senior lecturer in animation at the University of West London‚ where she was awarded both a Teaching Fellowship and Enterprise Fellowship‚ going on to become Associate Dean of Research and Enterprise in the Faculty of the Arts at that university in 2009. An increased interest in combining theoretical research and practice led Carol to undertake a PhD by practice in Arts and Computational Technology at Goldsmiths University. Her PhD thesis, Choreographing Time: Developing a system of Screen-less Animation researched the grammar of the D-Scope® as a new medium.
