About Media, Culture & Society at Glasgow
Across teaching and research, our work is motivated by a concern with questions of power and what justice looks like for those who do not have a voice in the public sphere.
Home to the Glasgow University Media Group and the Social and Digital Change Group, we produce agile, internationally recognised research, applying methods which capture a wide range of cultural representations, practices and literacies. We are in regular dialogue with journalists, cultural producers, policymakers and diverse communities exchanging our expertise, evidence, and analysis.
Responding to changes in industry alongside innovative teaching scholarship, each year we send out graduates equipped with the skills and knowledge to apply their ethical media practice in real world contexts.
