The communication research unit (CRU), Department of Mass Communication, University of Kelaniya, relaunched the ‘I and My Research’ session, opening it to outside academics, especially to the Ph.D. holders who are in the field of media and communication studies. The objective of this initiative was to create a platform where the academic staff members of the department get the opportunity to be informed and enlightened by them as this will support the young academics to plan their Ph. D journeys.

The second session of this series was held on 14th August 2023 at the Department's audio-visual studio. The day's presenter was Dr. Sugath Mahinda Senerath, senior lecturer in the Department of Mass Media Sri Palee Campus, University of Colombo,Sri Lanka. 

He briefed his Ph.D. research which was about the 
Impact of Indian TV programs on daily lifestyle changes in Sri Lankan audiences. Further, he explained the challenges faced by him during his Ph.D. journey.

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.
