Cultural Studies Minor
This minor provides students with a comprehensive introduction to Cultural Studies, a discipline that is interested in all forms of culture, from Bob Marley to punk rock, Salvadore Dali to Ras Dizzy, Nicolas Guillén to Isabel Allende, Sex and the City to Roots. The minor encourages students to define culture in its broadest sense, including issues ranging from the psychological to the global, past to present, elite to popular, everyday life to the city, and consumption to production. Once culture is approached in this way, students are made aware that it is dynamic and politically charged, and they will acquire greater appreciation of its significance, both in their everyday lives and as an academic discipline.
