The departmental seminar series, held weekly during term-time, features speakers from all over the UK and the world, and also provides an opportunity for departmental staff and research students to showcase their work. The department also has close links with other departments in the College, such as Sociology, Media & Communications, the Centre for Urban and Community Research, and the Centre for Cultural Studies. In addition, because Goldsmiths is a College of the University of London, students have the opportunity of attending seminars and courses throughout the University and also have access to the library at Senate House.

The department has research links with institutions both from within the University of London, such as the Institute of Latin American Studies and the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, and externally, such as the National Maritime Museum, CNRS, the Australian National University and the University of Nairobi.

The department is currently engaged in the following externally funded projects:

Melanesian Art - Objects, Narratives and Indigenous Owners
