Media studies is an interdisciplinary field that engages in material, cultural, and affective histories of communication technologies, focusing on the impact on culture and society. At Sarah Lawrence College, we explore a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, including sound studies, media archeology, digital humanities, and popular culture studies. Students investigate the relations between social, political, and cultural contexts and the development of methods, ideas, practices, tools, and objects across diverse media in the global digital era.
