About THEA 1004

This Level I course exposes students to the basics of cultural research methods and research practice, and requires students to engage in a cultural research process by way of a group research project. As part of their skills development, students are required to present their research ideas and findings in a conference-styled forum.

About Interrogating Contemporary Caribbean Culture IV

The fourth annual CRC will feature paneled presentations on a range of topics:  The performing arts; carnival; indigenous festivals; visual arts; culture and new media; and the business of culture. The intent is to highlight the significance of Caribbean culture in varying contexts and create a forum for generating new research on Caribbean cultural studies.
