This broad approach enables doctoral students to apply various perspectives on Cultural Studies to their analyses of students, education, and schooling in local and global contexts. TEAL Cultural Studies faculty have expertise in Anthropology, History, Critical Approaches to Social Studies, Language, Applied Linguistics, and Literacy, as well as qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.
