Media and Communication Studies
Research
MKV focuses on the study of media, society and culture. We conduct international research on television, film, print media, the internet and mobile technologies, within the context of politics, economics, society and culture. Our international publications and funded research projects combine empirical methods with critical theory. Research areas include media and democracy, media and participation, gender, media, communication and health, children and the internet, social activism and social media, celebrities, genre, audiences and popular culture.
We work with funding bodies such as EU Sixth Framework Programme on young people, citizenship and democracy, EU COST Network Transforming Audiences, Transforming Societies, Riksbankens jubileumsfond, the Crafoord Foundation, KK-stiftelsen, STINT (The Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education), The Wallenbergs Foundation, The Wahlgrens Foundation, and The Sandbloms Foundation, UR and SVT (Swedish public service broadcasters). We run a regular seminar series with international speakers.
