THE CULTURAL AND CRITICAL STUDIES DIVISION encourages humanistic, interdisciplinary research into communication. Perspectives with a home here range from literary, and cultural and critical analysis to creative and philosophical essays. It sponsors research-paper sessions, theme presentations, and other scholarly activity at the yearly convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
