The lecture International Cultural Studies introduces students to basic select topics and concepts fundamental to the field of Cultural Studies by discussing texts and theories from international scholars. It provides an overview of key terms such as race, class, gender, and identity, among others, and seeks to enable students to understand and reflect upon these key terms and their underlying concepts within their historical, societal, and cultural context. To do so, it raises questions on how cultural texts and practices shape our understanding of society, politics, history and culture.
