------------------
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.
