Research

The Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) Master of Arts Program provides a dynamic, innovative environment for the study of technology, media, expression, and exchange. At CCT, we value critical rigor, scholarly integrity, and social responsibility. Our courses and events challenge conventional distinctions between academe and the real world, the global and the local, theory and practice. By cutting across traditional disciplinary and institutional boundaries, CCT works to define and describe the unprecedented challenges posed by new technologies and the global economy.
