Themes
Six
encompassing themes are at the center of CMS. These themes
cross academic disciplines and involve both traditional
and emerging communications media, establishing a focus
for public presentations, research agendas, and curricular
initiatives. Faculty and graduate student research assistants
support this work. Through its projects, symposia, outreach
programs, and research projects, CMS explores the social,
economic and cultural impact of digital technologies and
their analog forebearers.
Consortium
To further the development of CMS research
and education, we work with select organizations to coordinate
and execute projects driven by faculty and student activities.
Annual membership
dues allow faculty to develop ideas and explore issues,
host conferences, symposia, and colloquia, coordinate travel
and purchase equipment around research, and support graduate
student fellowships and undergraduate research opportunities.
Members gain shared access to research and programs, participation
in quarterly events and periodic conferences, exchanges
with MIT faculty, and introduction to students.
