Overview

About the programme

Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary tradition that uses culture as a lens through which to understand and analyse social change, with a focus on power, ideology and economics. Our research environment attracts researchers with an interest in urban change processes, precarious work, transparency and democracy.

As an interdisciplinary environment, we have a great deal of contact with other disciplines, in addition to those at the Department of Cultural Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, including sociology, cultural geography, linguistics and history of ideas.

The different subject backgrounds create a dynamic environment in which researchers can converge around the critical intellectual tradition from which Cultural Studies has grown internationally – a tradition that ever since the Frankfurt School and the Birmingham School has united researchers via a collection of questions about contemporary life.
