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.
