Cultural Studies
College of Humanities and Social Sciences

Good day, Mason’s graduate and professional community. It is one of my favorite times of the year, and I wanted to write a welcome to all our new and continuing graduate and professional students to a new term at George Mason.

The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is proud to honor Felicia L. Carr, MA English '92, PhD Cultural Studies '03, with the 2022 Distinguished Alumni Award in Cultural Studies. Carr turned an early love of storytelling into a career in communications and marketing with a focus on non-profits, advocacy organizations, and higher education.

Maillim “May” Santiago, a third-year cultural studies PhD student, studies the genre and the contributions of Puerto Rican filmmakers, exploring horror films as mirrors for societal and cultural anxieties.
