Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

What We Do

The Popular Culture Studies Minor is intended for students interested in developing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Popular Culture. The goal of the Interdisciplinary Minor in Popular Culture Studies is to provide tools for undergraduates to build bridges between the popular, public, and material cultures of their daily lives and the cultures that are the traditional objects of study of the University.

The Minor in Interdisciplinary Popular Culture Studies will connect the complementing individual department resources, providing interested students with a unique program for the study historical and global popular culture, and offering a wide array of research tools, theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and intellectual foundations with which to approach this dynamic field of study.

Visit this website for information about the Popular Culture Studies Minor, about courses in the Minor, and about popular culture studies events on campus.
