Research
CMAP is designed for graduate students from various doctoral programs at Vanderbilt. Seminars, workshops, bootcamps, and project modules are interdisciplinary and collaborative.
The program combines the critical study of historical, social, and theoretical aspects of modern media culture with hands-on experiences in the making of digital media objects.CMAP strongly encourages new and multi-modal formats of the dissertation. It prepares students to use the full array of digital possibilities to develop and communicate their research.
