Media, Power, and Identity

How the historical relationship between media, power, and identity plays out in society is a central question this course will unpack. This class takes a deep dive into historical and contemporary scholarly, and popular conversations that shape how we understand identity, and its power implications, in all of its complex forms. Students engage with a broad range of readings that provide insight into the ways media may reinforce and challenge power hierarchies via constructions of culture and identity.
