Course summary

How does the media shape social and cultural life? How have digital and internet cultures transformed personal and networked interactions? What is the relationship between the media, mass politics, and governance? What is media power, and who wields it? Whatever the questions that interest you, at Essex you can develop the skills to go beyond simply arguing about them, and instead find the evidence needed to answer them. At Essex we investigate what connects people with each other, as well as what divides them. We consider every aspect of our daily lives, from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we define ourselves, our families, and others. You experience a lively, informal environment with many possibilities to pursue a variety of topics including: The impact of computer games on crime Mass media and modern life The art, film and personal testimony of war Practical research methods, including designing interview schedules and surveys and handling cultural data The Department of Sociology and Criminology also offers expertise in many areas that complement the study of communications and digital culture, including criminology, social history, visual sociology, economic sociology, US and European studies and cultural rights.
