    I have no idea how to study Cultural studies and what I need to study for it!

    Is anyone else panicking or have any advice for me?! It's my last exam and I just want to feel confident about it :)

    Any help would be appreciated from 1st years studying it or 2nd years who have already done it :)

    I did that last year.

    It's a bit, so-so. Quite a few definitions- cultural universals, hegemony etc come to mind

    The papers are here

    (put UL\ before your ID)

    Look in the autumn folders obviously.

    Scared now! My cousin picked the best day to come home from America. I'm going over to his soon and will bring my notes but i know we will inevitably end up having a Dexter marathon...

    I've decided to just study definitions and two topics (culture/language and journalism) :) You'll be grand :D
