Cultural studies is an innovative interdisciplinary field of research and teaching that investigates the ways in which "culture" creates and transforms individual experiences, everyday life, social relations and power. People belongs to different culture. Cultural studies is study about politics, history, media, philosophy, economics, social realities etc.. When we learn about culture we came to know that how culture transforms individual experiences, social realities and power relation. Kalyani ma'am explained it in her own individual experience. Cultural studies developed as a reaction against Liberal humanism and orthodox Marxism. Culture has both a material and a metaphysical substance.
