Programme Description
Our doctoral programme is offered through the Centre for the Study of Communications and Culture, providing high quality training to postgraduate students. In-house and collaborative seminars held in co-operation with The University of Nottingham’s campuses in Ningbo and the UK, and visits to the centre by eminent scholars, policy-makers and industry representatives ensure that postgraduates interact in a stimulating and supportive environment.
The centre invites applications from potential doctoral students, and as a first step, you should acquaint yourself with the expertise of our staff as outlined in this brochure and in more detail on our web site. This should give some indication of whether or not the topic you intend to propose falls within the range of interests and capacities of the centre. Please contact potential supervisors for further information or to discuss specific project topics.
Our research covers areas including:
- the history, policies and structures of the culture industries – these encompass structural analysis, political economy and post-colonial development studies
- cultural production – identifying and evaluating what has been produced, when, by whom, and for whom
- products, formats, genres and patterns – where analyses look into imported/indigenous forms, and local/global cultures
- media and human rights – these include media and gender relations, media and minority groups, and communication rights
- international information flows – questions of imbalance, cultural and media imperialism and dependency
- comparative literature, Japanese literature, literary translation
