Connecting dots • Combining THEMES

Center for Communication Studies began under the COVID-19 pandemic period, as a means of connecting peers and project partners at a time when physical, face-t-face interactions were not encouraged. We named it Center for Global Journalism and communication, as can be seen from several of the menus on this page that still focus especially on journalism. 

The center was intended to function mostly as an online network, connecting interested peers internationally. In the interest of relevance and utility for a growing number of participants in webinars and round-tables, CcS emerged in 2023 with a wider reference to Communication, with the theme of Journalism incorporated. 

Our mission is to contribute to an interdisciplinary dialog on themes as outlined above, through research collaboration, joint podcast and webinar production, hybrid meetings to discuss research, added by the occassional guest lecture.
