Our Master of Arts in Global Communication and Social Change provides you with essential skills and a deep analytical perspective on how media and communication drive development and societal transformation. Media and communication play a central role in shaping social progress, with diverse applications such as nonprofit communications, behavioral change initiatives, impact-driven messaging, and grassroots media projects. Innovative communication methods and storytelling techniques are crucial for tackling pressing worldwide issues like environmental sustainability, economic inequality, conflict resolution, amplifying marginalized voices, and combating misinformation. The program examines key theoretical frameworks for analyzing media, international communication, and societal transformation, covering topics such as globalization, Southern epistemologies, decolonization, and theories of civic participation. You'll investigate modern strategies for communication-driven social impact across global and community settings, including public engagement, participatory development, educational entertainment, advocacy campaigns, local media initiatives, social entrepreneurship, media capacity building, and activist movements.
Starting September 2024, the program will be renamed MA in Communication, Media and Development.
