Overview

After studying principles of historical method and jurisprudence, students in the History, Culture, and Law program at Northeastern University bring to bear the interdisciplinary frameworks they have begun to develop in one of six culturally-focused concentrations: Africana Studies and Culture; Asian Studies and Culture; Culture and Colonialism; Digital Humanities; Gender and Sexuality; and Latino/a, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies and Culture.

Students have opportunities to develop flexibility in perspectives; to exercise ability to work in interdisciplinary frameworks; and to foster appreciation of cultural diversity that will enable them to make a positive impact in their chosen spheres of action.

Aims

The Department of Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies is an open and dynamic academic platform for interdisciplinary research and teaching on the transformative power of culture as an instrument for social change and innovation.

As we search for the tools to foster sustainable economic growth and social well-being on a global scale, we aim to reevaluate and learn from the historical experiences, belief systems, intellectual traditions, and pressing concerns of the greater part of the world’s population. This requires a critical reexamination of the persistence of Eurocentric postulates that were developed to support modern colonialism and nationalism with their variegated world of “otherness”.

As such, we adhere to the broadest and most inclusive definition of languages and cultures as we aim to understand, shape, and thrive in a global community characterized by increased social connectivity, economic integration, intellectual exchange, and cultural hybridity.
