Researchers in the Centre are examining a wide variety of issues and fields, from the role of television in a post-broadcast era, to explorations of the ways in which interactive media technologies are used for commercial and government surveillance, to the cultural consequences of nationalism, capitalism, and globalization. The Centre acknowledges the funding support of a number of organisations, including the Australian Research Council; the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research; and The University of Queensland, through a variety of funding schemes. Other funding organisations are acknowledged on individual researchers' pages. The research projects of former Fellows of the Centre can be found on their individual pages in the web archive.
