The 19th research discussion session, "I and My research," was successfully held on 27th February 2023 at the Department's audio-visual studio. The Communication Research Unit organized the discussion (CRU), targeting the academic staff members of the Department of Mass Communication.
 
The day's presenter was senior lecturer Manoj Jinadasa. Today’s session is unique because the discussion was opened for the first time for the presenter to join through zoom all the way from the United Kingdom as he is reading for his PHD at Newcastle University.
 
He explained his major research fields: culture, communication and cognition, aesthetics, philosophy, psychology, and digital natives. Further he presented a few significant facts from his PHD study, which is about the rural young men, Facebook and same sexual relationships in Sri Lanka. In addition he explained how his research interests evolved over a period of time.
 
All the academic staff members were present at the discussion.
The session was dismissed after a fruitful conversation and then having a nice cup of tea with the plan of gathering the following Monday for another compelling research discussion.
