Overview:
The Department of Social and Cultural Analysis (SCA) explores the range of relationships between human collectivities, on the one hand, and institutions and structures of power, on the other, taking into account how these are affected by such modern global developments as intensified urbanization, increased transnational exchange, and proliferating diasporic populations.
Because these matters are highly complex, SCA combines research methods from the social sciences and the humanities, and examines such varied phenomena as consumer culture, industrial activity, mass media representations, artistic productions, subcultural practices, and aspects of everyday life in their economic, material, political, and historical contexts.
