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. For more information, visit our website: * http://www.stonybrook.edu/complit/new/master1.html*<http://www.stonybrook.edu/complit/new/master1.html>or contact Prof. Raiford Guins, Director of Cultural Studies at *[log in to unmask]* <[log in to unmask]> or Prof. Jacqueline Reich, Interim Graduate Director of M.A. programs at [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------ Krin Gabbard, Professor and Interim Chair Department of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies Humanities 2048 5355 SUNY Stony Brook, NY 11794-5355 (631) 632-7460 (631) 632-5707 (fax) ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
