\def\g{{\frak g}} \def\h{{\frak h}} \def\v{{\frak v}} For a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\g=\h\oplus\v$ where $\h$ is a quadratic subalgebra and $\h$ and $\v$ are orthogonal with respect to the Killing form, we construct a large family of $(\g,\h)$-modules with non-zero cubic Dirac cohomology. Our method uses analogue of the construction of generalized Enright-Varadarajan modules for what we call $(\h,\v)$-split parabolic subalgebras. This family of modules includes discrete series representations and ${\cal A}_{\q}(\lambda)$-modules.
Keywords: Quadratic subalgebra, generalized Enright-Varadrajan module, (g,h)-module, Verma modules, Kostant's cubic Dirac operator, Dirac cohomology.
