Subscribers to the list may be interested in a new MA in International
Cultural Change offered at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UK)
(Home of the new journal RIPE - Review of International Political Economy).
This MA is the result of a new research grouping on International
Cultural Change in the Department of Geography at Newcastle. The
teaching team comprises Alastair Bonnett, Nina Laurie, Kevin Robins and
Peter Taylor.
It aims to draw together interesting themes emerging from
interdisciplinary studies on culture, gender and 'race' and focuses on
the interconnections between them in the context of international change.
This is a 12 month full-time MA (part-time students can take the
programme over two years). It is based on small group seminar work and
evaluation is carried out through long essays and a dissertation. It
involves no written exams.
We are interested in attracting students from a variety of backgrounds
and welcome applicants from institutions outside the UK and from
departments other than geography. Any enquiries are very welcome.
