This course is designed to give students a theoretical, as well as practical, experience with issues of ethnicity, race, gender, class, and sexuality as they manifest in mediated artifacts of popular culture. The course is taught from a cultural studies perspective where students will gain skills in critical analysis and media literacy. Concepts of power, privilege, justice, representations, hegemony, consumption, and resistance will be woven throughout course readings, films, assignments, and online discussions.
This course is approved under gtPathways in the content area of Human Behavior, Culture, or Social Frameworks (GT-SS3).
