HUMN 7367 - Women and Minorities in the Media


Credits: 3

Explores women, minorities, and the media with a critical eye and with an approach toward media criticism that incorporates feminist theory as well as a broader critical/cultural perspective that focuses on gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Analyzing the content produced by a handful of powerful conglomerates that today comprise the mainstream media, students look below the surface of the media used for entertainment and/or information to explore what it says about the political economy, norms and values, and society. May be applied to the following curricular field concentrations: American studies; communication, media, and technology; humanities; human rights and social justice; gender studies.
