Cultural studies is concerned with the study of culture in all of its forms and practices, exposing the everyday practices, relations and objects that shape our world. This major provides students with a thorough understanding of how we make cultural meaning, as well as investigating the social and political dimensions of culture. Students will study issues to do with art, media, communication and representation, the practice of everyday life, from shopping to graffiti, the construction and deconstruction of social, cultural and personal identities, as well as the values and ideas shaping national, regional and global cultures.
