World Cultural Studies

Catalog description

This course introduces the study of world cultures through the lens of the interdisciplinary field of Cultural Studies. As such, it draws on the insights from different areas of inquiry to understand how human identities and actions are shaped and performed in daily life. Thus, it explores how culture is lived and experienced. From a cross-cultural approach, special attention is paid to how issues related to migration, race, gender, class, and ethnicity are manifested through different forms of cultural production (e.g., film, literature, social media, music, etc.).
