Media, visual culture, and performance studies examine visual and performing arts as well as cinematic, digital, and musical forms across languages and periods.  Research in the department interprets and compares these forms of cultural production as they relate to oral and print culture, concepts of identity, collective memory, global migration, cybernetics, and decolonization.
