We prioritize and nurture collaboration between faculty and students, creating an environment where research and creation can flourish.
Through active involvement in studios and projects, students gain hands-on experience and develop crucial research skills. Moreover, we provide opportunities for students to participate in conferences and showcase their contributions to creative and academic communities.
Ethics approval is required for any research project that involves human subjects.
An ethics form and a consent form need to be approved before they can be signed by individuals involved in your research. Do not start the research before receiving approval from Dr. Chia or Dr. Consalvo.
We actively create and share our research widely to create impactful dialogues, cultural shifts and policy changes. See the range of projects and events taking place in Communication Studies.
