Critical Cultural Studies

Critical Cultural Studies is an approach that examines how culture—such as media, art, and social practices—shapes society’s beliefs, power dynamics, and identities. It explores how cultural messages influence perceptions and reinforce social inequalities, focusing on issues like race, gender, and class. By critically analyzing these influences, the field aims to uncover hidden biases and promote more equitable, inclusive environments. Essentially, it encourages us to question how culture affects who we are and how society functions, empowering us to understand and challenge systems of power within cultural expressions.
