Launch of the MeCCSA postgraduate Network

MeCCSA, in conjunction with the Art, Design, Communication – Learning and Teaching Support Network, recently launched a Postgraduate Network (PGN).

The aim of the Postgraduate Network is to bring together postgraduate students in media, communication and cultural studies from different intellectual traditions and cultural backgrounds in order to form research, and teaching and learning networks and also ensure peer support. The Postgraduate Network Executive Committee has members from the University of Aberystwyth, Cardiff, University of Central England, Birmingham, Glasgow University, London School of Economics, Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, University of Stirling, University of Sunderland, University of Sussex and University of Westminster.

The Postgraduate Network’s goals are to:

  • Situate postgraduate researchers in the national landscape of media, communication and cultural studies
  • Provide a national forum where postgraduates can participate in workshops/seminars related to teaching, learning and research
  • Bring together members of the postgraduate community in order to debate contemporary issues in media, communication and cultural studies
  • Provide a supportive environment where postgraduates can establish valuable contacts for the future

Postgraduates interested in finding out more about the network should contact Vicky Ball at vball@qmuc.ac.uk, or on +44 (0) 131 317 3159.
