CCLPS Student Profiles

"MA Cultural Studies in SOAS is a course where I was forced to question my perceptions, reexamine my beliefs, and widen my (mental) map.

The MPhil/PhD programme offered by the CCLPS is a challenging and rewarding experience.

The MA in Comparative Literature made me stand by my belief that literature is the key that opens the door towards another cultural region

We have questioned each and every one of these preciously held notions: knowledge, identity, East/West, self/Other, history, the (post)colonial

The MA in Cultural Studies was an invigorating course which provided the freedom to question the Eurocentrism of cultural theory in relation to the geographies and histories of Asia, Africa and the Middle East

This course has challenged me to question my preconceived notions of binaries and absolutes, allowing me to develop a more nuanced interpretation of different literary traditions

I am especially impressed by the CCLPS Research Training seminar which is rigorous, intense, and incredibly inspiring
