| Video Discription | What is visual culture and how does it shape our understanding of the world? In this episode of Theory to Go, we'll provide a concrete definition of the visual culture that's grounded in social science research and discuss the importance of visual culture studies for students interested in contemporary media and visual environments. The host, Dr. Alexander K. Smith, holds an MA from Oxford University and a PhD in the anthropology of Tibet and the Himalayas from the University of Paris.

Nevertheless, Boylan has a handy and accessible discussion of how she uses the terms visual environment and visual atmosphere, which I would highly recommend as an entry point to visual culture studies: Boylan, Alexis L. 2020. Visual Culture. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press. If you are interested in exploring programs in visual culture studies, I'd highly recommend that you give the following a look: My Alma mater, Oxford University, has a fabulous program: https://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/graduate/courses/mst-history-art-and-visual-culture The University of California Santa Cruz, aside from having a crazy beautiful campus, also boasts a very interesting BA program in the history of art and visual culture (https://catalog.ucsc.edu/en/current/General-Catalog/Academic-Units/Arts-Division/History-of-Art-and-Visual-Culture/History-of-Art-and-Visual-Culture-BA), as well as having a solid film program. Absolutely worth a look! A quick thanks to Prof. Edward Shanken for sharing UCSC's programs with me. Penn State has a really cool, multi-disciplinary program that offers a dual-title PhD in visual culture studies and a parallel faculty determined by your sub-disciplinary focus (which is a very promising, forward-thinking approach to the field): https://bulletins.psu.edu/graduate/programs/majors/visual-studies Harvard's program leans more towards film and media studies and would provide almost unparalleled networking opportunities: https://gsas.harvard.edu/programs-of-study/all/film-visual-studies And last but not least, the University of Toronto has an exciting program in visual studies that leans more towards curation, museum studies, and physical art mediums. If that's your cup of tea, you can hardly do any better: https://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/programs/visual-studies Recommended Reading (all handy resources that I would happily recommend): Berger, John. 1972.
