The Media Research Forum
The Media Research Forum (MRF) is a platform dedicated to promoting rigorous dialogue between post graduate students, academic staff and industry. The forum seeks to contribute towards the promotion of high quality media and communication research in multiple ways:
- Building research capacity among post graduate and academic staff through occasional seminars where senior researchers and industry lead discussions on topical issues.
- Providing a platform for post graduate students and academic staff to share their research experiences and learn from each other.
- Provide a public sphere where mock defenses of students and staff members’ research work is discussed before it is formally presented at higher forums such as conferences, faculty higher degrees committee e.tc
- Create space for academics to interact informally, motivate each other, get to know each other, and inform each other about current developments in the field.
- Act as a communication channel where students and academic staff get information about research processes, activities and opportunities in the faculty and the university at large.
This blog will serve as the primary channel that we will use to cover our research related events and communicate with all interested stakeholders on research related matters.
