Dear Colleagues,

Please distribute as appropriate:

ANNOUNCING A NEW MASTERS PROGRAM IN CULTURAL STUDIES AT STONY BROOK
UNIVERSITY

The M.A. in Cultural Studies is a two-year interdisciplinary and
interdepartmental program based in the Department of Comparative Literary
and Cultural Studies (CLCS).  It studies culture as inseparable from its
historical, social, political, economic and technological dimensions.

What Is Cultural Studies at Stony Brook?

The Cultural Studies Program at Stony Brook is designed for students whose
interests cut across traditional modes of study in the Humanities and Social
Sciences.  Areas of emphasis include popular and mass culture, visual
culture, media and technology, cultural production, cross-cultural and
transnational/global formations, as well as the study of elite, dominant,
and national cultures.  Course requirements are designed to build competence
in interdisciplinary Cultural Studies theory and practice, maximize
collegial interaction among students, and allow students to develop
disciplinary fluency in a particular subfield.

The Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies Department’s strengths lie
primarily in critical and cultural theory, cinema and media studies, visual
culture studies, comparatist and cross-cultural studies, as reflected in the
Department’s popular undergraduate major in Cinema and Cultural Studies.
 Competence in languages other than English has also long been considered
essential to the department’s mission.  A network of affiliated faculty
represents a wide range of areas in disciplines including Africana studies,
art history and studio art, digital arts, Asian and Asian American studies,
English, European and Hispanic languages, history, music, philosophy, and
women’s studies.

The Master's Program in Cultural Studies is designed both for students in
Cultural Studies or related fields who seek only an M.A. degree and for
those who might wish to continue toward a Ph.D.
