Culture & Expression (C&E) takes a multidisciplinary approach to explore the catalytic relationship between the creative human imagination and the multiple cultural settings that ignite it. Theoretical courses prepare students to delve into the core of ‘meaning’ in culture and to gain a fresh understanding of the nature of culture and the arts in social, artistic and political contexts. The program encourages students to explore historical and contemporary issues and themes. Students also evaluate how issues are reflected in literature, film, music, law, architecture, visual arts, technology and digital media, among others.
