The Master of Arts programme in English and Cultural Studies aims to provide an interdisciplinary grounding in Cultural Studies and allied disciplines, including literature. The courses offered provide a range of perspectives for understanding ‘culture’ and ‘cultural practices’ in all their nuances through relevant theoretical frameworks as well as through a practice-based component that includes field-work, internships, and other forms of engaging with contexts beyond ‘texts’ alone. The curriculum aims to create discursive spaces within as well as outside the classroom, encouraging learners to actively engage with the social world. The programme places an emphasis on rigorous scholarly work as well as with more creative forms of shaping research outputs. In keeping with Christ University’s emphasis on academic excellence, the programme is up-to-date with contemporary pedagogies as well as curricular content.
