Print Culture program
The aim of the Print Culture specialization is to provide graduate students with a focused MA degree in a growing theoretical and interdisciplinary research field. Students study and work alongside a group of faculty and other graduate students with shared critical and research interests.
Speakers & Events
For more than a decade, the Print Culture Speakers Series has been a venue for the dissemination of innovative work by a veritable who’s who of scholars. Bringing these scholars together with local faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students, the series is a vital forum for discussion of the issues that challenge and define the study of print culture, writ large, helping make ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV an international centre for new thinking about media and theory.
