Cultural Exploration and Analysis

About the Course

Cultural Exploration and Analysis (CCEA-UH 1069) is a course that explores the concept of cultural appropriation. The course approaches these questions both philosophically and empirically, asking "What is culture, and how can it be 'owned' or 'stolen?" and "How have practices of adopting or using culture been implicated in processes of social subjugation or marginalization."

Why Students Should Take This Course

Students will examine a range of historical and cultural situations, from blackface minstrelsy to contemporary pop music from around the world, and develop critical perspectives for understanding race, culture, and ethnicity.

Taught By

The course is taught by Andrew Eisenberg, Assistant Professor of Music.
