About The Culture Club

We are a graduate student organization interested in promoting the critical study of culture, society, media, and history at Ohio's Bowling Green State University. We understand the study of culture not to be the exclusive domain of any one discipline and celebrate the positive outcomes of trans-disciplinary outreach, engagement, and collaboration.

We believe the creation of a community with a want for cross-disciplinary discussion is not only possible, but is a necessary reality in the modern academy. As an organization, we have not so much attempted to overcome any disciplinary differences as we have strived to compliment each other's work in an attempt to augment the collective study of culture.

The Culture Club: Cultural Studies Scholars’ Association is an interdisciplinary organization founded in 2006 in order to bring together graduate students from the American Culture Studies, Popular Culture, Theatre and Film, Psychology, History, and other disciplines with an interest in Cultural Studies.

Working collaboratively, we have dedicated ourselves to developing the national graduate student conference, “Battleground States,” held every February on the campus of Bowling Green State University.

The Culture Club sponsors the Tuesdays at the Gish film series featuring screenings of public domain, rare, and independent films in the historic Gish Film Theater on Tuesdays during the school year.
