|
|
Students who entered the program prior to September 2013 should refer to their degree audits or contact an Academic Advisor in the Humanities Advising Office to discuss their program requirements.
Cultural Studies and Critical Theory (CSCT) provides students with an opportunity to investigate the texts, practices, theories and concepts that animate modern individual and social experience. CSCT examines a wide range of cultural forms, including those that have been typically overlooked in universities (e.g. television, popular film and fiction, and practices of everyday life), while paying attention to topics such as gender, sexuality and the body, class, race and ethnicity, postcolonialism, subjectivity and representation, ideology and power/knowledge, aesthetics and taste, and technology and culture.
Students wishing to enter this program must complete an application for admission to Level II on MUGSI in mid-March to be considered for admission.
