Integrated in the Culture and Communication Program, the Doctorate in Culture Studies offers advanced training in the intersection of the traditions of cultural sciences and cultural studies and is organized into three thematic axes: Matrices of Culture: Identities and Power; Communication, Discourse and Society; Management of Trends and Culture. It presents a plurality of methodological and theoretical perspectives and contributes to the adequacy of research to a changing sociocultural reality, establishing a transdisciplinary dialogue between the areas of social sciences and the humanities and stimulating, at the same time, knowledge and study of new areas. It provides particularly relevant crossroads between communication, philosophy, cultural sociology, language sciences, history, cultural management, media studies, creative industries, cultural policies. This PhD is designed and oriented towards an academic profile as for a path in the cultural sector or in the business sphere.
Taught by a specialized and internationally recognized faculty, it allows a close relationship with the research developed in the following centres: Center for Anglo-Saxon Studies of the University of Lisbon; Center for Classical Studies; Center for Linguistics of the University of Lisbon.
