The Centre for the Study of Communications and Culture (CSCC) is located within the School of Modern Languages and Culture at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus.
In this age of convergence and digitalisation as part of a much bigger multimedia industry, there is a greater need for more research conducted into the areas of communications and culture to make sense of their implications for society. The Centre enables substantive, focused research of this nature to be carried out, yielding results which will be of great benefit and consequence to academia, policy makers, and the wider society.
Researchers at the Centre are dedicated to carrying out interdisciplinary research into the role and politics of communication and culture in this era of globalisation; in-line with the Centre's mission to operate as an international, regional and national centre of expertise for high-quality research. CSCC provides an intellectual network for researchers, postgraduate students and professionals in the fields of media, communication and culture.
The first of its kind in Malaysia, the Centre aims to bring together local and international scholars in a setting designed to produce results that will inform wider policies. The Centre was also established to fill a research void in the country and regionally in the area of communications and culture, especially at a time when the promises of information and communication technologies (ICTs), digitalisation and globalisation need to be addressed side by side with their inherent impacts on local cultural practices.
