Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network

Networking Knowledge is the official publication of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network. It is a fully-indexed, open-access, peer-reviewed journal, run exclusively by, and featuring content solely from, postgraduate and early career researchers. 

Networking Knowledge nurtures academic talent in the fields of media, communications and cultural studies, offering early career scholars a vibrant space for innovative scholarly debate, through opportunities to publish their work and get involved in all stages of the editorial process.  

Over the years of its existence, Networking Knowledge has extended its impact and reach, driven by the expertise of hundreds of contributors – authors, editors, guest editors and reviewersLaunched in September 2007, with the specific intention of serving the MeCCSA PGN community in the UK, the journal has evolved into a global network of scholars, featuring work from all over the world. Many of our past contributors are now leading academics in their respective fields.  

Networking Knowledge accepts submissions in a range of academic, creative and collaborative formats, and the editorial team endeavours to make all current and future articles fully accessible and compatible with screen readers. Any historic issues which are not compliant can be provided in an accessible format upon request. We are committed to making improvements with regards to accessibility and inclusivity in order to broaden our readership and increase opportunities to contribute to the journal. We aim to support all early career scholars who would like to be involved as contributors, and are committed to making the editorial process accessible, diverse and fair. 

We are driven by the values of rigour, openness, collaboration and academic freedom. It is therefore our core goal to serve our community of postgraduate and early career scholars by fostering a supportive network and advancing knowledge in media, communication and cultural studies.

Networking Knowledge Volume 16 Issue 1: 2021 MeCCSA PGN Conference Special Issue: Dreaming of Anotehr Place

February 17, 2023

A new issue of Networking Knowledge has now been published!

This special issue brings together contributions from presenters at the MeCCSA PGN’s 2021 Conference, Dreaming of Another Place, which took place at University of Brighton in September of that year. The articles here are reflective of an academic world in transition; in the second year of changes researchers faced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the authors here reflect on how their practices had changed. However, the articles in this special issue step beyond the pandemic, as well. While some authors changed their creative and research practices, others reflect on changes to places beyond the scope of the pandemic. As such, the theme of ‘Another Place’ takes on a variety of significant meanings.
