The department prides in its ability to embrace the study of communication and media in an inclusive and comprehensive manner.

Research in Department of Communication and Media, University of Liverpool, is conducted within four research clusters which share common interest in critical, interdisciplinary analysis of a variety of modes of mediated communication across social spaces and fields.
The Culture, Space and Memory research group brings together ideas and intellectual orientations on the cultures, practices and spatial dispositions that inform transdisciplinary approaches to media and communication in the digital age.
The Discourse & Society research group looks at how language and discourse - in traditional/social media, politics and the wider public domain - act as vehicles of social change as well as carriers of relationships of power and inequality in contemporary societies.
The Media, Politics and Society research cluster deals with critical analysis of media outputs and journalism from the perspectives that highlight political agendas, assess the impacts on marginalised groups, and foster understandings of human rights.
