The Mass Culture Workshop is devoted to the interdisciplinary investigation of historical, theoretical, and practical concerns emerging with modern mass and consumer culture. In past years, the workshop has examined such topics as global and local cultures, independent television and video, the star cult, British theories of subculture, gay reception, cinema and race, fashion, tourism and travel films, and relationships between literary modernism and mass culture. In addition to workshop participants, guest speakers frequently meet with the group to discuss work in progress. As a rule, readings tend to be centered around the current research interests of workshop participants. Scholars working in areas relevant to the concerns of the workshop are invited to meet with us.
