Interdisciplinary Centre for Social Communications
Director F. Augustine Savarimuthu, SJ
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Communication Studies (CICS) was established with the purpose of "examining the problems and opportunities which mass communication offers for proclaiming the Gospel message and in general for theological and philosophical language", and thus being "of service to all Christian communities in their dialogue with the contemporary world".
The primary mission of the CICS is to train church leaders in communication through academic research in areas relevant to the church’s mandate in communication. The focus of the programme is three-fold: theological, philosophical and socio-cultural.
