Stuart Hall (1932 - 2014) was one of the most influential scholars in the field of Cultural Studies, shaping the discipline with his groundbreaking theories on media, identity, power, and representation. Hall’s work redefined the way we understand culture—not as a fixed, elite phenomenon, but as a dynamic and contested space. His contributions remain central to modern debates on race, identity, media influence, and globalization. In today’s episode, we continue our experiment with a slightly new format. Critically Linked has 3 wonderful guests – Louisa Chihi, Elodie De Sousa, and Hawa Ibra Saidou War - all of them Bachelor students from UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles coordinated by Prof. Thomas Jacobs. Louisa, Elodie and Hawa will be hosting this edition of the podcast with a conversation about Stuart Hall and the relevance of Cultural Studies.
