Media and Communication Research Groups
The major strands of research at the Department of Media and Communication, outside of that conducted within CMCR, is organised within research groups or clusters. Each research group comprises a number of academic staff and doctoral students who share cognate interests. The groups hold meetings for members, invite outside speakers to give talks, develop research projects and research grant bids, and set and achieve their own research output targets.
