MA Global Media and Society focuses on these issues by drawing on a wide range of highly pertinent academic fields and professional expertise. As you dissect key issues in media, you’ll discover intersections with social inequalities, ethics, gender, sustainability, consumerism and fandom, activism and decolonisation.
You’ll consider how creative media and digital transformation can both reproduce global social inequalities and be used as a tool for justice and cultural participation across societies.
