Welcome
The Department of Cultural Analysis and Theory (CAT) is a dynamic transdisciplinary space for the scholarly exchange of methods and concepts for analyzing complex social and cultural phenomena. The Department is committed to the critical study of the transnational and transcultural flow of peoples, capital, media, and ideas; the production, dispersion, and reception of literary, visual, digital, and material cultures; and the theories and practices of social and political movements.
CAT is home to undergraduate programs in Cinema and Cultural Studies, Humanities, Interdisciplinary Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as graduate programs in Comparative Literature, Cultural Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies. We are especially proud of our fit between our undergraduate and graduate programs enabling Ph.D. students to complete their professional training by assisting in delivering our undergraduate curriculum.
