prepare students for diverse careers in a number of areas – including humanities

theoretical rigor.
Globally, the Cultural Studies and contemporary theories view culture as
dynamic, living, and changeable – rather than static and permanent. Notions of
culture as something immutable lead to attitudes of intolerance and politics of
hate. Cultural Studies promotes a tolerant world-view, where difference is
embraced and used as a basis for dialogue and mutual understanding. It
provides an interpretation of cultural practices; how it can be preserved,
destroyed, or reformed; and how our sense of identity is produced through
cultural practices.
