We have a long-established reputation for cutting-edge research on the foundational structures of human interaction, focusing on uses of language across a variety of everyday and institutional interactional contexts.
Interdisciplinary researchers work across media and communication history, mediated memory, and the relationship between media and time in global contexts.
Our traditional strengths in UK political communication and ‘legacy’ media are complemented by world-leading research investigating digital media and political communication internationally.
We have a proud history of pioneering work in the critical political economy of communication and in media and cultural policy.
We combine social sciences and STEM expertise to lead large-scale multi-partner projects to deliver positive impact in a globalising world.
