The Office of Politics, Communication and Media (OPCaM) at the University of Alabama is an innovative hub for interdisciplinary research and public-facing dialogue. Situated at the intersections of politics, communication, and media, OPCaM creates civic and community engagement on regional, national, and international levels by connecting high-quality research with public conversations that shape and respond to the growing impacts and rapidly evolving role of politics, communication, and media in democratic and public life.
OPCaM is one of the first research offices of its kind to consider politics broadly, defining it not only through governments, political parties, and civic and political participation, but also in terms of the ways communication and media practices are intertwined with the social, cultural, and historical contexts of democracy and everyday life.
