GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CULTURAL STUDIES (M.A., PH.D.) The University of California, Davis, is pleased to announce its new graduate program in Cultural Studies. Applications are now being taken for fall 2000 admission. The graduate program in Cultural Studies at UC Davis emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to cultural inquiry that includes analyses of intersecting categories such as class, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nationality, and the like. The program involves more than 60 faculty members. Some work within traditional disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and agricultural and environmental sciences and come from departments such as anthropology, comparative literature, English, theatre and dance, language and literature programs, sociology, and textiles and clothing. Some faculty work within interdisciplinary programs such as African American and African studies, American studies, Asian American studies, Chicana/Chicano studies, critical theory, environmental design, human and community development, Native American studies, religious studies, science and society, and women and gender studies. Students entering the program will use and develop methodologies from many fields to suit their objects of study. Students may pursue research in the following emphasis areas: 1) gender (including masculinity studies), 2) sexualities, 3) comparative race studies, 4) media and popular cultural representation, 5) science and society, 6) transnational and global studies, 7) religions, communities, and politics, and 8) rhetoric and critical theory. With the close guidance and supervision of a faculty committee, students may also create unique areas of emphasis. Members of the Executive Committee for the Cultural Studies Program are: Sue-Ellen Case, theatre and dance; Angie Chabram-Dernersesian, Chicana/Chicano studies; John R. Hall, sociology; Susan Kaiser, textiles and clothing and women and gender studies; Dean MacCannell, environmental design; Linda Morris, English; Judith Newton, women and gender studies; Kent Ono, American studies and Asian American studies; Michele Praeger, French and Italian; and Roger Rouse, anthropology.
