专业概况

在这里学什么？

The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary field of comparative studies provides students the opportunity for critical analysis of social and cultural processes and their expression in religion, literature, media, the arts, science and technology. Students in the comparative studies program develop strong skills in analytical and critical thinking and in written and spoken communication. Students broaden their understanding of cultural differences as they attend to the intersections of gender, ethnicity, race and class.

Focus areas

Comparative cultural studies, the comparative study of cultural production in different contexts. Students focus their work in particular areas (e.g., visual culture, popular culture, social and critical theory).

Comparative ethnic and American studies, the study of ethnicity and race in the Americas. Students analyze how the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class have shaped American culture.

Comparative literature, the study of world literary traditions in cultural context. Students study the literature of different historical periods and geographical areas, including some foreign language study.

Folklore, the study of everyday forms of cultural expression. Students analyze the expressive cultures of groups—music, dance, story, food, architecture, craft, festival, custom—and how groups and the scholars who study them deploy these forms to affect relations of power.

Religious studies, the study of different religious traditions in cultural context. Students focus their work on relationships between religion and such areas as politics, science and technology, gender and sexuality, and race and ethnicity.

Science and technology studies, the study of science and technology as forms of cultural expression. Students analyze cultural, political and economic factors in relation to directions of scientific research and technological development.

Possible careers

Students majoring in comparative studies develop strong skills in analytical and critical thinking and in written and spoken communication. These skills are essential to many positions in both the public and private sector: government; local, national and international service organizations; business and industry; and all levels of education. Comparative studies students also develop their understanding of cultural differences as they attend to the intersections of gender, ethnicity, race and class. In an increasingly diverse nation and interconnected world, employers have come to value this important area of expertise.
