Intro til uddannelsen

Study cultural differences and encounters in both a local and global perspective

Cultural Encounters er et fag, du læser som en del af din bacheloruddannelse på RUC. 

Check the news, scroll through your social media feed, or simply take a walk down the street: All around you are countless examples of cultural encounters where different norms, languages, power relations, and worldviews meet. At Cultural Encounters, we investigate what these differences mean for our understandings (and misunderstandings) of each other.

At the bachelor subject Cultural Encounters, you will learn to identify and analyse the dynamics that arise in cultural encounters, as different identities, experiences, and understandings meet in local and global contexts. We draw on theories and methods from disciplines like sociology, anthropology, postcolonial studies and gender studies, and this interdisciplinary approach gives you a deep understanding of cultural encounters in the broadest sense. The language dimension is included as a central aspect of cultural encounters, so you will also learn to analyse culture as processes of meaning that can be identified, not only in texts such as literature and online internet chats, but also in movies, art, and digital photos.

Through this study, you will develop your competences in cultural understanding and learn to analyse and constructively engage with problems relating to cultural encounters and diversity. Thus, you will gain skills that are highly valued in the job market: Working constructively with issues that arise in cultural encounters and navigating diversity in all types of projects and processes.

All teaching and project writing is conducted in English.

Din hverdag på studiet

På Cultural Encounters vil du selv blive del af et kulturmøde, for hos os mødes og samarbejder studerende fra hele verden og med alle slags baggrunde. Det giver et dynamisk og engageret miljø, hvor du skal være klar til at arbejde med din egen kulturelle forståelse. Mange af vores studerende er drevet af et ønske om at skabe positive forandringer i verden, og vi holder jævnligt seminarer og debatter og alt fra klima til køn, ofte arrangeret af de studerende selv. 

Også blandt undervisere og vejledere vil du møde stor diversitet, og du vil opleve, at vi altid er klar til diskutere, udforske og blive klogere sammen med de studerende.
