Gender, Media and Cultural Studies is the exciting crossroads for innovative work.
We’re the place where media and politics intersect, where the arts meet policy, where literature and ethnography shape creative practice.
Researchers in our area break new ground through experimental methodologies and transdisciplinary thinking.

What is the power of culture, media and gender in everyday life? Can popular culture change a society in ways that political leaders cannot? When global capitalism and climate change wreak havoc on the environment, what happens to peoples and their cultures?
We engage with the most significant questions of everyday life in Asia and the Pacific through critical thinking, hands-on work, and creative approaches. Students in our Asian and Pacific Culture, Media and Gender major learn how to apply the tools of the humanities and social sciences to promote social justice and real-world impact.
