Teaching Cultural Studies. Methods – Matters – Models

Gabriele Linke’s Teaching Cultural Studies is a collection of essays concerned with the teaching of British-American cultural studies at university level. On its back cover, it laments the fact that while in recent years numerous general introductions to cultural studies have been published, “there have been few studies that reflected on and systematised teaching experiences, course design, and teaching and learning techniques in the field.” It therefore aims at closing “this gap by recording instructors’ experiences and insights and presenting successful models of instruction.” The book is divided into three sections, “Methods”, “Matters”, and “Materials”, thus veering from the tripartite division suggested in the subtitle. An introduction by the editor precedes these sections.
