Doctoral Seminar: Anglophone Cultural Studies 4219-ZS301s
The seminar is designed for students enrolled in the doctoral schools working within broadly understood humanities. Its primary thematic focus is contemporary (20th- and 21st-century) Anglophone cultural and literary studies. In that, the seminar has two distinct but interrelated goals: 1) to help participants develop and conceptualize their doctoral projects; 2) to expand their critical understanding of contemporary Anglophone cultures through a series of readings and discussions.
