Cultural Studies
SAS offers a unique platform for studying culture in its widest range of forms. Our School is home to a diverse internationally-trained faculty, with academic specialties including critical theory, art history, literary studies, performance studies, philosophy, anthropology and cultural history. This is why Cultural Studies at SAS is home to an interdisciplinary blend that offers diverse pathways into studying culture as an intersectional and criss-crossing phenomenon.
At SAS, we treat culture, cultural formations and expressions as complex objects of study, demanding nuanced and interdisciplinary approaches. Our aim, in putting our specialties into contact with one another, is to develop a truly vibrant program, one that will set Russia’s unique artistic heritage and cultural production into dialogue with global cultural critique.
By choosing Cultural Studies Major at SAS, students will be committing to learning how to blend diverse methodologies, theories, practices and critical perspectives to create innovative new interpretations of literature and culture, which in turn will help them become a cultural critic and expert yourself. Each major core course is designed to deepen and develop student's knowledge of the practices of cultural criticism, while electives are designed to broaden their intellectual and cultural horizons. Finally, together, we aim to establish the Major as a locus of artistic and humanistic endeavor by encouraging events, readings, plays and student publishing alongside our teaching whether in exclusively in Tyumen or broadly in Russia.
