MeCCSA - Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association

Welcome to MeCCSA

Welcome to MeCCSA, the new subject association that has emerged from the merger of two organisations, MeCCSA and AMPE. The new body represents all who teach or research in Higher Education in media, communications and cultural studies, whether in arts, humanities or social sciences departments. This includes practice-based work as well as more ‘academic’ disciplines.
