WGS 3071 Minorities and the Media
This seminar considers minorities along three intersecting axes. One is how a group has been represented within the history of the media; another looks at how minorities have worked within mainstream and alternative media, and how they represent themselves when empowered to do so. The third considers how minority reading communities interpret media to suit their own needs. We present case studies exploring such groups as African-Americans, Asians, the elderly, gays, the homeless, Jews, Latinos, Muslims, Native Americans, the physically challenged or others. Research paper required.
