700 Reasons: Reason #423
- Reason: 423
- Students of languages and related studies typically explore a variety of approaches to cultures, communities and societies by drawing on methodologies shared with other disciplines, notably, but not exclusively, literary, cultural, media and film studies,critical theory, gender studies, history, geography, philosophy, politics, sociology, anthropology, religious studies, visual and performing arts, economics, business studies and law. The range potentially covers the full spectrum of the humanities and social sciences, and extends also to other subjects making use of source materials in the foreign language. Degree programmes will vary as to the relative weight they attach to these different approaches but all will normally ensure that students completing the programme acquire familiarity with methods, knowledge and understanding appropriate to the academic disciplines involved
