Professor Tufte's expertise and experience lie in critically exploring the interrelations between media texts/flows/genres, communicative practices and processes of citizen engagement and social change. His long-standing research interests have evolved around three key areas: media and communication for development and social change; qualitative audience studies; and community development, often times combining the three.

He has led 7 international research projects in the field (between 1992-2017), having sat on numerous editorial boards, and worked in about 30 countries worldwide. He has collaborated with a broad range of organisations in international development cooperation, such as World Bank, UNICEF, UNESCO, USAID, UNDP, FAO, SIDA, Panos, ADRA, Soul City, Femina, Ghana Friendship, and others. Professor Tufte has since 1990 worked with research, teaching, curricular development, consultancy and NGO work in 14 countries in Africa.
