To understand representative theories and research approaches in cultural studies research and apply them to the analysis and consideration of various phenomena in modern society.
This class aims to introduce students to the basic theoretical and methodological principles of the cultural studies.After our initial class, which will outline the class objectives and learning methods in detail, we will begin the course with a short introduction to cultural studies, before introducing students to key concepts of the field which have developed from the early 20th century to present. The central aim of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of the ‘culture concept’ and the field of cultural studies.
This course is designed to help you think critically about culture, identity and representation, and their connection to the world around us. A number of short readings (approximately 10-20 pages each) will provide an opportunity to enable discussion and develop comprehension of the text itself. Students will be expected to read articles and excerpts on a weekly basis as preparation for in-class discussion. By the end of the course students will be expected to demonstrate in a final research paper a ready familiarity with the major principles presented in the lectures.

| The majority of classes will be split into two parts: a short lecture (approximately 30-40mins) and class discussion. Depending on class numbers, students will be asked to work in small groups and discuss a series of prompt questions about the reading homework and/or class theme. Students will be expected to engage in active-learning, participate in group discussions, and share their ideas with the professor and their classmates. Homework will predominantly involve reading short extracts and/or chapters (10-20 pages) on cultural studies topics to be discussed during class. Students will sometimes be asked to research and prepare examples related to the class topics to introduce by way of short presentations. |
Students will be required to read articles and/or extract chapters on cultural studies topics weekly. Students will be expected to prepare for in-class discussion by making notes and forming questions to be addressed in class. Occasionally, students will be asked to prepare for discussion and presentation of examples or case studies which relate to the weekly class themes e.g. 'identify and make notes about an example of gender representation in the media.
Weekly readings will distributed digitally by the professor.
