Communication, Cultural and Media Studies Research
The results of the UK’s 2008 Research Assessment Exercise have placed NTU amongst the leading institutions for research in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies, with 70% of its research being rated as world leading or of international excellence. Research is organised within the Institute for Cultural Analysis, Nottingham (ICAn) which has a core membership of some 29 academics including six professors, and three post-doctoral fellows.
Research within ICAn is organised into four broad clusters:
- Technology, media and globalisation
- Transnational and diasporic culture
- Cultures of the everyday
- The Strategy in Communication Group (SinC)
ICAn embraces two specialised research and academic publishing enterprises:
- The Theory, Cultural & Society (TCS) Centre is the research and publishing base of the internationally acclaimed journals Theory, Culture Society and Body & Society and the Theory, Culture & Society/SAGE book series.
- ICAn also provides the publishing base of Space and Culture: International Journal of Social Spaces, providing a unique interdisciplinary critical focus on social spaces such as the home, the laboratory, the city, leisure spaces and virtual spaces.
Publications listings of members can be found at the University’s Institutional Repository.
