[edit] Cultural studies

In furthering our understanding of cultural diversity, development and history, in the broadest sense of interdisciplinary study, we enlist the aid of many sciences. Just in summarizing these does the scope of our work become apparent. The massive volumes of knowledge contained within these various subjects makes the task of adequately versing yourself in cultural studies a daunting one. The main goal for this page is to present and provide the guidelines and links, required to increase your learning effectiveness, in a neat and orderly fashion.

Not to be confused with the more common meaning of Cultural Studies, which is a branch of media and literary theory, focussing on popular cultural practices, especially popular in Europe. It might be more appropriate to name this section Area Studies, or possibly Intercultural Studies.
