The global reach of media today challenges us to comprehend how the visual arts, performance, film, design, digital media, architecture, among others, have formed world cultures and societies and are changing them. This interdisciplinary plan investigates the history and theory of visual culture, recognizing the rapidly growing international contexts and vastly diverse cultures of spectatorship.
Students enrolled in any degree program may pursue a minor designation in Visual Culture in a Global Context.
