------------------
Since you have EFL, why not choose "World Languages and Cultures"?
(it is easy to imagine literature in culture). As for the the
teaching of culture courses, I am not sure any department need be
super proprietary about it. If these courses are part of a
departmental major, then the department is a good place, but not
necessarily the only place. The University should be using talent in
the right place, even if the most appropriate person is a
meteorological physics person.
In our university, with massive internationalization goal, our Center
for Global Studies will oversee a number of "culture" courses and
others which are international in scope.
