Program details

Overview

This programme focuses on analysing written texts, images, and other cultural artefacts in connection with broader philosophical questions and sociopolitical developments. By placing cultural objects in both local and global settings, and in historical and contemporary contexts, the programme connects them to issues such as climate change, political polarisation, and structural inequality. Mandatory courses introduce the field's methods used for analysis and interpretation, alongside key theoretical ideas, with literary and cultural theory as a central focus. Students can tailor their curriculum through a minor and electives across a range of subjects, and have the option to study abroad for a semester or complete an internship.
