LCSS Cultural Studies
The Cultural Studies provide a network of reflection by enthusiastic and educated individuals who attempt to understand the forces that build and form our daily lives. The Cultural Studies Platform brings together young, eager and cultural people to share enthusiastically about their lives, ideas and views. The Cultural Studies platform is a gathering hotspot for our members to approach subjects holistically by discussing contemporary culture as well as historical foundations and defining traits. Topics discussed include anything from feminist theory to social and political theory. Meetings, seminars and conferences are regularly organized in order to continue sharing worldviews and discuss new ideas.
