Projects
CCT students and faculty produce dynamic work that serves to teach, innovate, provoke thought, and demonstrate the program’s unique perspective on technology in society.
To reach a deeper understanding of their research subjects, students freely draw on theoretical, practical, and professional knowledge. Hands-on learning is a cornerstone of the Communication, Culture & Technology Program, be it digital or analog, inside or outside the classroom, independent or in groups.
CCT nurtures an ecosystem of experimentation and implementation, and students regularly make and test prototypes as a form of methodological inquiry. For this, they make use of the extensive range of equipment, facilities, and training available at Lauinger Library’s Gelardin New Media Center and Maker Hub as well as CCT’s own Technology Design Studio.
Examples of interdisciplinary analysis and collaborative effort.
Research studies authored in both text-based and non-traditional formats.
CCT’s student-run peer-reviewed journal and blog.
Skills-based workshops driven by students’ diverse expertise.
An annual showcase of media-related student work.
“CCT has so many resources to offer students. I know when I was a student it was incredible to take advantage of all the technology trainings offered. There were courses on building websites, different adobe tools, all kinds of things to supplement what we were learning in class. CCT turns theoretical learning into hands-on, practical experiences”
