This project catalyses interdisciplinary research on mass media. It builds upon the foundation laid by the International Multimodal Communication Centre (IMCC) – a research programme hosted by OSGA, which represents an exciting constellation of research links between OSGA, the Oxford Internet Institute, Department of Engineering Science, the Faculty of Linguistics, the Oxford Text Archive, and the Defence and Science Technology Laboratory. This project aims to formalise and cement these links and do collaborative interdisciplinary research on multimodal depictions of futures in media.
