Head of Department Welcome

Welcome from Professor Myria Georgiou

Together with my academic colleagues and the department’s professional services team, I wish you a very rewarding and thought-provoking year

Welcome to the Department of Media and Communications at LSE!

I, as Head of Department, like everyone here in our Department, am super-excited for the academic year to start and keen to offer you an exciting and rewarding learning environment as well as a supportive community over the 2025/26 academic year, opening the doors to a wide universe of inquiry and discovery across our programmes.

It would be fair to say that the last few years have been challenging, but they have also drawn attention to our acute dependence on a wide variety of digital media and to the importance of democratic, accurate and critical information and communication. Recent years have clearly demonstrated the opportunities media and communication offers and we hugely look forward to discussing and critically assessing with you the rapid, deep and widespread changes taking place in the media, communications and digital environment, in conjunction with increasing calls and action for more social justice across the world.

Together with my academic colleagues, our Departmental Managers, and the Department’s professional services team, I wish you a very rewarding, mind-blowing and thought-provoking intellectual journey!

Professor Myria Georgiou
