Bachelor of Arts - Centre for Global Studies - Global Culture Studies (Blended Delivery)

How Blended Learning Works

Upon completion of the 1st year of study online students will then join their cohort on campus for their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of study and meet the in person requirements for Canada’s Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). A valid study permit is required only for on-campus 2nd – 4th years of study, for which a provincial attestation letter (PAL) will be issued by Huron.

Program Description

The degree modules offered in Global Culture Studies examine how knowledge of the world and understandings of one another are shaped by cultures of representation and ideological formations. Students gain deep training in interpreting and analysing discursive formations and critically examining cultural productions of power relations in the world. They gain practice in analysing such marginalising and oppressive principles as patriarchy, citizenship, territory, civilization, sovereignty, and the global. Students learn to identify and effectively confront racializing and racist constructions in global theories, the privileges of masculinity, ideologies of development, and human/nature dichotomies. Through such work, they gain skills and understanding necessary to become responsible cultural agents in the world.
