the University of Oregon, serving nearly two-thirds of all
students. Home to more than 800 faculty across 50+ departments and
programs in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences,
CAS is a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic community. Our

thinking, analytical reasoning, and clear communication skills to

psychoanalysis, Frankfurt School cultural theory,
poststructuralism, and contemporary European thought), Holocaust
and memory studies, Environmental Humanities, film and media,
visual culture, and folk traditions.
