The Course

Learn The Tools

for Critical Analysis

Are you a dissatisfied student, hobby philosopher, or annoyed scholar? Or maybe you're a politcally-engaged artist, inspired but confused activist, or writer who has not been academically trained in social, cultural, literary, media, feminist, marxist or psychoanalytic critique? In this course, you'll receive the training needed to truly engage critically with society through your work. We will analyze cultural texts, artifacts, and phenomena, and explore key moments, concepts, and theories. You'll also acquire practical research tools and have the opportunity to get published in a cultural criticism magazine. Plus, you'll receive an official certification upon course completion. Join us on this enlightening journey!
