Students explore these theories and topics through an in-depth study of a particular aspect of culture within a chosen country. In addition, the course will introduce students to the use of qualitative methods in the analysis of culture and communication. In the final weeks of the course, students will use these tools to hypothesize the impact of future global trends on contemporary cultures and identities.
