Popular Culture ClusterPopular culture is a vital area of study that offers new insights into our history, beliefs, diversity, emotional make-up, and socio-economic relations. Study of popular culture is an interdisciplinary approach aimed at understanding how culture links the individual and society. This cluster of courses will enable students to see everyday life with new eyes by teaching them the habits of critical thinking and query into what they would otherwise take for granted. Cluster Coordinator: Grace Dillon
