Centre of Global Media and Communication

Description

The Centre of Global Media and Communication specialises in the critical analysis of media industries and systems, their contents and their audiences in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and their diasporas, an approach equally well-suited to research on Latin American, East European and mainstream ‘Western' media. The centre encourages research aimed at de-colonising global media studies through grounded theory and methodological research.

The centre's research topics include: political communication, digital media and activism, political economy of news media; social movements; migration; diasporas; ethnic minorities; transnational communities; digital technologies and development and digital cultures in the Global South.
