Algorithms can predict our clicks or hold artificial conversations, but they cannot feel our longings, pains, and joys.
GMEL exists to ensure that as communication speeds up, we do not lose sight of the human scale – the stories, the silences, and the messy, unquantifiable lived experiences that define who we are. Our research focuses on emergent technologies and everyday life, diaspora and mobility, aging, wellbeing & gender, and ethnographic approaches to communication studies.
GMEL is committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. GMEL highlights the media histories, practices, voices, meanings, and emotions in communicative processes.
