Media, Culture and Class

Laura Minor and Jonny Smith

This group explores the relationship between class and media across film, television, radioand digital platforms. Covering both British and international contexts, we examine how class shapes production as well as how it is represented and experienced by audiences. Drawing on cultural studies, media studies, and industry research, we bring together scholars working across historical and contemporary formations to ask urgent questions about inequality, identity, and power. We welcome researchers at all career stages and are committed to building a lively, cross-disciplinary community that connects academic work with partners in broadcasting, heritage, the arts, and the wider public.
