Cultural and Visual Studies ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

The objectives of this course are to acquaint students with the history and approaches that have characterized cultural criticism. Critical studies in this course form an intersection of types, including both cultural studies generally and critical social theory in particular, but with most attention devoted to forms of criticism borrowed broadly from a selection of theories in literature, philosophy, arts, and anthropology. While all students will begin with common, required readings, they will narrow their focus with the mentor's input and guidance and complete a final term project well-integrated with their overall program goals. This course was previously LIB-640550.
