Understanding both our common humanity and our different histories is critical for effective living in today’s world. Cultural and Historical Studies courses examine complex cultural practices—the meaning and practices of everyday life—and their relationship to power in historical and contemporary contexts. The curriculum explores a range of diverse cultural experiences while building understanding and respect for profound political and social differences.
