Program in Media and Modernity
The program in media and modernity promotes the inter-disciplinary study of the unique cultural formations that came to prominence during the last century, with special attention paid to the interplay between culture and technology: the program centers on architecture, art, film, photography, literature, philosophy, music, history, and media from radio to information technology. The program draws on the rich human and material resources that exist at Princeton and provides a focus and forum for research and teaching in the space, texts, media, and modernities of the 20th century. The program offers a graduate certificate and, more broadly, collaborative teaching, learning, and research opportunities centered on team-taught seminars and cross-disciplinary colloquia.
