Dr Nedim Hassan is a Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies. His background is in Popular Music Studies and he graduated with a doctorate from the Institute of Popular Music, University of Liverpool in 2008. Nedim is particularly interested in researching the roles of music, media and culture in everyday life. His previous research has examined the significance of daily domestic musical activities and fandom. In addition, Nedim has examined the value of a local community-based choir project involving adults with learning difficulties, focusing specifically upon the choir rehearsal process as a resource for social bonding and self-presentation.
Nedim's current ethnographic research project focuses upon members involved with local rock music scenes on Merseyside and explores peoples' experiences in scenes that appear to be 'hidden' from established historical narratives about Liverpool's music history.
Nedim specialises in teaching ethnographic methods; political economy of the media and music industries (with an emphasis on policy and regulation); media audiences and fandom; and popular music studies.
Currently Nedim is the Programme Leader of the MA Mass Communications and he teaches on the following undergraduate and postgraduate modules:
Introduction to Media Studies
Contemporary Communications
Mass Communications: Policy and Practice
Advanced Research Methods
Culture and Identity
Mass Communications: Research Methods
Theories, Concepts and Debates in Mass Communications
