Catalog description

Prerequisites: ENGL 102 with a grade of C or higher; PSY 210 or COM 201 . This course considers media practices that critique, disrupt, and reimagine dominant narratives about race, gender, class, and sexuality in the United States.

An exploration of our own roles and voices as spectators, scholars and media-makers will accompany our critical analysis of individual media objects and forms.
