Course Catalog Description:
How are our perceptions of crime been influenced by the news? How do social movements use media to share their messages? What can we as audiences do? Social media, news, and entertainment media help shape our ideas about identity and differences. Learn how representation and inclusion have been negotiated through media with a particular focus on local case studies. Topics include race, ethnicity, social class, physical ability, and gender. Students will learn how to use media literacy to build a just and equitable society.
Class Description:
This course examines the relationship between mainstream media and racial and ethnic groups in the United States. The subject is increasingly important because of the expanding racial pluralism in the United States and the resulting need for media to increasingly integrate their workforces, as well as to target racially and ethnically diverse audiences across a host of media. Various groups and cultures will be discussed, including: Black/African Americans, Latinos/Hispanics, Asian Americans; Arab Americans; White Americans; and American Indians/Native Americans.
