Research in Journalism/Media and Communication Studies
There is a long tradition of research on Swedish media at the Department of Media Studies, with a special focus on journalism (hence the ‘J’ in ‘JMK’).
In recent years, however, there has been a shift toward a focus on issues related to global crises and transnational human mobility of people, their problems and, not least, their communicative strategies.

Research in Cinema Studies
Cinema Studies designates the study of moving images and image cultures harking back to periods prior to the breakthrough of film, up until the diverse platforms of the current mediascape.
The focus of our teaching and research at Stockholm University primarily concerns key medial moments of transformation; in our field both research objects and the methods with which they are studied constantly undergo change.
