Our Centre for Research in Communication and Culture (CRCC) is a large, vibrant, interdisciplinary centre for communication, cultural and media analysis. Our research draws on and contributes to theories and methods in cultural and media studies, sociology, politics, psychology, history and memory studies, textual, visual and computational analysis, and geography.

Media and cultural industries are not only important sources of wealth-creation and employment but they can also create inequality through shaping everyday culture and public opinion.

Media, Memory and History is a fast-growing area of expertise at Loughborough which provides a shared focus of research for scholars across the social sciences and humanities.

This broad research group is characterised by a common interest in studying processes, discourses and practices of migration, nation and exclusion/inclusion.

Around the world, communication is fundamental to politics and the role of media in society is deeply politicised.

We’re interested in exploring and understanding the complex forces that shape our societies, how they change over time and how, if at all, actors can intervene to advance their goals.

The Department of Communication and Media is proud to be part of the ESRC Midlands Graduate School DTP in partnership with Warwick, Nottingham, Birmingham, Aston and Leicester.
