7/15/2025The JMU Master of Arts in English-Speaking Cultures is devoted to the systematic study of Anglophone literatures, language phenomena, and cultural formations across the globe. While participants can specialize in American Studies, English Studies, or Linguistics, courses and collaborations within English-Speaking Cultures aim to cross the boundaries between the three subdisciplines. How, for example, might a Shakespearean sonnet have sounded when pronounced by an Early Modern speaker? What is at stake when British pop stars affect American accents? Can one speak of a single globalized English-speaking culture or has globalization rather fostered a range of distinct cultural formations, literatures, and Englishes? How do literature and culture respond to ecological and environmental challenges in past and present times? Our approach thus combines interest in the notably different cultures of the British Isles as well as the rich variety of US and North American cultures with the decentralizing pull of English as a 'world language' that unfolds in tremendously significant linguistic, cultural, and medial variations in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and indeed almost every world locality.
