<a name="_ylazcijyb4dt"></a>Though incoming students are not required to choose the Cultural Studies concentration area in order to earn a research assistantship through the faculty listed above, each of the faculty members who has funding available is affiliated
with the Cultural Studies concentration. The Cultural Studies concentration in TEAL is an interdisciplinary program that examines social, cultural, philosophical, and historical issues in education and society. The critical nature of this program gives attention
to race, gender, class, language, sexuality, and ability in the contexts of schooling, culture, and society. In the USU Cultural Studies program, students examine perspectives on equity, marginalization, privilege, and power from a variety of disciplines including
Education, Sociology, Applied Linguistics, Information Technology and Learning Sciences, and Special Education. This broad approach enables doctoral students to apply various perspectives on Cultural Studies to their analyses of students, education, and schooling
in local and global contexts. TEAL Cultural Studies faculty have expertise in Anthropology, History, Critical Approaches to Social Studies, Language, Applied Linguistics, and Literacy, as well as qualitative and quantitative research methodologies.</div>
