The Cerritos College Visual and Cultural Studies Program is a first-of-its-kind interdisciplinary AA degree unique in the California Community College system. Building upon such traditional programs as Art History, Film Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Gender Studies, students are free to mix and match across a broad range of areas of specialization. The eleven papers assembled in this ninth volume of the self-published journal, VIEWS, present just a sampling of the many papers and independent research projects pursued by students enrolled in courses within the program this year.
