Cultural Politics, Communications and Media Group

Description

The cultural politics, communications and media group explores the everyday nature of power, its lived experience as oppression and privilege. The group examines the importance of identity, and how it structures the socio-political landscape, and the group interrogates ideology and the way it takes shape in a digital world. In all these processes, the group understands the role of the media and the importance of culture as central.​

The group's research examines social movements, explores the window that critical theory opens on power relations, and asks questions about regulation and governance of these fields, particularly as digital technologies present new challenges for established models of understanding. The group looks at how media and politics connect, and how individual experience of political affect can be aggregated into potent collectivities. The gropu draws on political science, cultural studies, media theory, media regulation, journalism, psychology, and area studies.​
