文化研究
Have you ever wondered: Where the "Me Too" Movement really began? Why so many people went to see 黑豹? the true impact of hip hop in America? How trans性别 rights will be affected by the current political climate? 如何成功举行抗议活动?
文化研究 peers beneath the surface of the pop culture you consume, 你听的音乐, 你买的衣服, 你吃的食物, 你去的地方, 你听到的演讲, 你读到的东西, 还有你看到的艺术. We invite you to examine impact of identity on American culture. 透过种族的镜头, 性别, 性, 种族, 地区, class, 移民, 国籍, 年龄, dis /能力, 和宗教, we study the ways that positionality affect the lived experiences of people. You will have the opportunity to craft your own interdisciplinary program of study that concentrates on aspects of American culture and society that will best prepare you for life after college.
