This course examines how meaning is created in social contexts in regard to class, gender, race, ideology, nationality, etc. Drawing on social, literary, and cultural theories, this course equips students with a range of tools to analyze various cultural narratives such as literature, films and media. This course will also give students the opportunity to understand modern society with a particular emphasis on politics and power. As cultural studies involve debating and understanding the world around us, this course teaches students valuable skills in critical thinking, debating, and building arguments in relation to contemporary cultural topics and everyday experiences.
