MDST 260 Gender, Race, & Class in the Media
This course looks critically at the impact of historical, economic and political legacies of social categories and social order on media production, representation and reception. These legacies have created pervasive stereotypes that DO change (or get remixed) in and through the media, but often do so in ways that continue to uphold the perspective and status of those with power. The course also works to complicate traditional categories of identity (such as gender, race, class, and sexuality) to reveal ways we also individually and collectively resist, incorporate, and intermingle identities in various media contexts.
Cross Listed Courses
