Communication, politics and culture
The School of Media and Communication has established an emerging research group under the broad and inclusive rubric of Communication, politics and culture (CPC). Members of the group are working towards the longer term aim of forming a CPC Research Centre within the School. The CPC research group brings together staff working across a range of disciplines to collaborate on questions related to communication in presently arranged, historically formed, and future social, political, economic and cultural settings.
In particular the research group supports and consolidates emerging and existing research on communication technologies within areas such as:
- social connectedness and participation
- globalism and multiple modernities
- media populism and democracy
- citizenship and social change
- communication technologies and governing populations
- urban futures
- teaching politics-economies-communication
Communication, politics and culture projects.
