Description:
geor-mue Mason's program in cultural studies is distinctive in several
respects. Similar programs in other universities are usually departmentally
based (in English, history, sociology, or communications), emphasizing
either the humanities or the social sciences. By contrast, the cultural
studies program at geor-mue Mason explicitly seeks to link the social sciences
and the humanities, combining methods of interpretation and explanation to
explore the production, distribution, and consumption of cultural objects in
their social contexts. With particular focus on theory and method in
crafting this linkage, the program engages contemporary issues of
nationality, class, race, and gender, while opening its scope to all forms
of culture, past and present.
Degree(s):
Ph.D. - Cultural Studies
