Culture, Power, and Change

Culture, Power, and Change is an interdisciplinary focus that engages with historical foundations and social functions of power in contemporary culture. Courses in this area center on how systems of power are built, reinforced, and operationalized through cultural practices and production. Culture is contested, always changing, and interconnected with ideologies of race, class, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, geopolitical borders, and so on. This focus provides strong preparation for careers in many areas including LGBTQ+ and racial justice advocacy, nonprofit leadership, education, and law.
