The Program
The Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program in Communication at Universidade Paulista (PPGCOM-UNIP) concentrates on the sub-area of Media Culture, with a focus on investigating contemporary communication processes and their implications for social and cultural dynamics.
The central objective is to create an environment conducive to the production of critical and innovative knowledge on the relationship between communication, culture and society, analyzing how interactive technologies, media narratives and symbolic strategies contribute to the configuration of cultural hegemonies, consumption practices, social identities and forms of social organization, among other phenomena, and to the training of high-level researchers capable of contributing to the country's development from their areas of expertise, whether in the academic context or in other sectors.
To this end, we seek to articulate research, teaching and extension in line with the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) proposed by the United Nations and with the guidelines of UNIP's Institutional Development Plan (PDI),
valuing interdisciplinarity, social inclusion and ethics in research.
To this end, we encourage teachers and students to join national and international research networks, investing in
the training of researchers committed to the social impact of their research and the production of relevant
knowledge for the academic and professional fields.
Target Audience
Professionals with degrees in social communication, social sciences, humanities and related areas, interested in studying contemporary communication processes, media culture, interactive technologies and their social, cultural and symbolic implications.
