MA North American Studies: Culture and Literature

Culture and Literature: In this research-oriented programme, students learn how to contextualize and evaluate US American, Canadian and Caribbean cultural phenomena, media products, and literary writing  from the colonial period to the present day. Basic modules provide historical frameworks and theoretical tools, and foster academic language skills. Integrated advanced and focus modules offer a historical  survey and train students’ culturally specific analytical skills. Students develop and conduct their own research based on their critical understanding of both disciplinary and interdisciplinary contexts.
