Programs of Study
Southern Methodist University announces RASC/a, a new Ph.D. program. RASC/a (inspired by the Spanish word for “scratch”) stands for “Rhetorics of Art, Space, and Culture.” It builds upon the strengths of the present faculty but with renewed emphasis on historical and new media, visual technologies, architecture and the city, race and gender, and performance and ritual. Emphasizing spatial and well as visual culture, it extends the department’s commitment to the study of technologies of visual communication, while also advancing transnational scholarship in Arts of Latin America, Iberia, and the Americas. Dedicated mentorship, outstanding resources at SMU and in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and generous funding make RASC/a an exceptional opportunity for emerging scholars.
