Cultural Studies and Critical Theory

The MA in Cultural Studies and Critical Theory (CSCT) is unique for its interdisciplinary focus on cultural studies and critical theory. The objective of the program is to allow students to engage the theories and practices associated with cultural studies and critical theory in the critical investigation of culture. Students critically examine a wide range of cultural forms and expressions, from influential philosophical texts and avant-garde theoretical reflections, to materials and practices that have been typically overlooked in university study (e.g. television, cinema, cyberculture, and the practices of everyday life).
