More than ever, the critical study of media and media content is crucial to how we navigate our world: through the multiple ways we use it, understand it; understand who makes it and who controls its distribution in a rapidly transforming cultural and technological landscape; this is just a small part of what we do in Communication, Popular Culture and Film.Our interdisciplinary department consists of fifteen full-time faculty members whose areas of expertise include television studies, advertising, gaming, big data, interpersonal communication, social media and other digital platform studies, global cinemas & genre studies, media policy, popular music and youth cultures as well as environmental media and the cultural politics of food and food media.Our programs examine the intersections between society and culture, cultural practices and their economic/policy implications. Our degrees – whether in Film, Popular Culture, Business Communication or Media and Communication – provide knowledge and foster critical thinking skills that are extremely relevant to today's job market.In CPCF we provide a rich, multifaceted educational experience for our students. Our faculty includes many nationally and internationally recognized scholars who help to prepare our students to adapt to (and think about) changing technologies, both at the level of form and content as well at a macro level by situating our analysis of culture in its multifaceted contexts.Communication, Popular Culture and Film is a dynamic and thriving department that continues to attract many of Brock's best and brightest. Our collegial, knowledgeable staff work alongside us to support all of our students through their degrees.
