This is the new blog for talking about Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney, hosted by the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies.
In this blog you'll find information about Cultural Studies research and teaching at USyd, but you'll also find staff and postgraduate researchers talking about topics of current interest to them, and to the contemporary discipline of Cultural Studies in Australia.
Reading Australian newspapers in the last year or so might lead us to believe that Cultural Studies is responsible for many things - the decline of education, the corruption of Literature, and the end of History. But those dismissals are often not very clear about what Cultural Studies might be, apart from a Bad Thing. We hope this blog will give a picture of what Cultural Studies in practice means for one small slice of the discipline in Australia.
