Research
From network theory and neuroscience to media policy and activism, Annenberg School researchers span the full breadth of Communication.
True to the intellectual roots of our field, the Annenberg School is interdisciplinary by design, firmly rooted in Communication while drawing on and integrating theories and methods from a range of disciplines spanning the academic spectrum.
We are equally as diverse in our embrace of both qualitative and quantitative research methods as well as unconventional forms of scholarship such as film, audio, and virtual reality.
