Research Clusters
The Birmingham Centre for Media and Cultural Studies (BCMCR) brings together academics involved in research aimed at understanding how communities and cultures emerge through the use of communication technologies.
The work conducted at BCMCR is as likely to engage with new and emerging technologies as it is historical examples of cultures built around traditional media. We explore the ways in which groups interact and weave a culture out of communication technologies, and we use that knowledge to help professional, commercial and community bodies extend their work online. In this section you can find out more about our six research groups:
- Popular Music Studies
- Screen Cultures
- History, Heritage and Archives
- Journalism, Activism and Community
- Creative Industries
- Jazz Studies
We work particularly closely with the music and radio industry, journalism organisations of all kinds, and with education, to develop new modes of working and communicating.
