“What LMC at Georgia Tech teaches and creates is absolutely essential if you care about our future. ”
Chaouki T. Abdallah, Former Executive Vice President for Research
Our Approach
Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC) defines new models of intellectual inquiry and practice that bring diverse humanistic perspectives to bear on technological invention and innovation. LMC researches and teaches how humanities shape and are shaped by science and technology. Faculty and students assess and inform technological and scientific change by creating, analyzing, and critiquing a broad range of media forms and cultural practices.
