Introduction to Cultural Studies UK and Ireland will examine the variety and diversity of British and Irish history, society, and cultural practice. We will look at complex processes through which identities have been constructed and deconstructed through intersections of class, gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity; through the impact of migration and immigration. We will examine how national culture is not an 'objective reality', rather, a nation's identity is filtered through the perspective of its many diverse inhabitants. We will look at ideas of being Irish, being British, and ask ourselves how national identity is formed in an age of globalisation.
