History
The Consortium was founded in 1993 by the late social philosopher Paul Hirst (1947-2003), Mark Cousins, Peter Humphreys, and Colin MacCabe. Until 1999, the British Film Institute was part of the Consortium. After the BFI removed its involvement (due to policy changes and external pressures at that institution), it was replaced by the Institute of Contemporary Arts . In 2007, the Science Museum joined the collaboration, with its Head of Research, Peter Morris, contributing as a core faculty member.
