What is cultural studies? (1 Viewer)

[arts9508]

Hi there,
Can anyone give me some advice about cultural studies? I have been considering a major in cultural studies at sydney university, but I am a bit confused about what is actually involved in the discipline (all the info on the uni website has been really vague).
I have done some sociology but found myself getting frustrated with the way it is wrapped up in grand theory, so I am wondering if cultural studies would be more interesting as it is grounded in everyday life.
any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!

I think about the cultural studies you have to consult with your university teachers. They can better help you instead of a website.
