50 Years of Critical Scholarship and Practice
Last fall, we celebrated our 50th anniversary! To mark the event, we hosted a series of events this fall that aimed to revisit and explore a range of critical scholarship and practice that has been a characteristic of the School since its beginning in 1973. Curated around the theme Communication as Critique, our 50th anniversary celebration highlighted the work of our past, present, and future world-class faculty and students and will engaged in dialogue about the future of critical work in Communication and Media Studies.
