Ph.d. in media and communication, ph.d. introductory note.

The School of Media at Mahindra University will launch its fully funded doctoral programme leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Media and Communication. The first cohort of scholars will be selected for the term beginning August 2024 after a rigorous assessment of their candidature through a multi-step process. Applicants may seek part-time or full-time enrolment.

Entry into our Ph.D. programme is not meant to be competitive—rather, it is qualitative. This means that deserving candidates will normally not be denied admission subject to the availability of advisory expertise, funding and assistantship work. Therefore, the idea is not to “fill the seats” but to nurture the production of scholarship of the highest quality by selecting scholars with high potential.

However, each of our cohorts of scholars will share some commonalities. Firstly, they will all be deep readers and well-read in the area they have pursued so far. Secondly, they will have a natural command over English, the language of instruction and output at the School. (We may in future introduce Indian language scholarship when both reference material and the School are suitably equipped.) Thirdly, they will be passionate about a humanities or social science approach.

We may view a field as a delightful and dynamic platform—like a field of force, where thought and domains of practice meet, interact, collaborate, conflict, and/or highlight fundamental differentiations or integrations. This interpretation of field forms the crux of the interdisciplinary nature of any solid research project. Thereby, interdisciplinarity is an organic part of the scholarship that is expected of each final product. Interdisciplinarity lends the dynamism and fluidity that must mark the implications of the scholarship as future scholars draw from, interpret and apply it further.

The fields within the areas of mediated communication offer a vast and highly diverse canvas, including:

• Journalism studies
• Media studies
• Mass communication
• Film and television studies

Strategic communication

• Media and communication management
• History, technology and systems of media and communication
• Ethics, policies and laws of mediated communication
• Human and machine-interface communication

Implications may span an even wider spectrum from pedagogical to international policy. Doctoral pursuit may be in any of these other fields whose concepts align with the School of Media.

Cinema & Media Studies Ph.D.

The Cinema and Media Studies Ph.D. program explores the intricate histories, aesthetics, and cultural impacts of visual media.

The Cinema & Media Studies (CMS) Program at UCLA has played a central role in the development of the field, notably through scholarship grounded in critical theory, cultural studies, close textual analysis, archive-based history, digital and interactive media studies, industry studies, and transnational media studies. The program supports a broad array of critical interests, from the media arts to commercial entertainment, from historical research to contemporary practices, and from formal analysis to the social mapping of media. In the last few years the research profile of the faculty has concentrated on three main areas of research: The Politics of Race, Ethnicity, and Indigeneity (particularly, Chicana/o, African American/African Diaspora, and Asian), Queer Cinema/Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Critical Theory (particularly, moving image art, aesthetic, affect, computational media, and decolonial).

The Ph.D. program focuses on refining research skills in an individualized study plan, with a mission to produce research of unparalleled quality. Graduates often transition into esteemed teaching and research roles in academic institutions. Backing their research endeavors is the UCLA Library Film & Television Archive, offering vast resources, 35mm classroom screenings, and state-of-the-art digital technology facilities.
