Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to examine the role of media in constructing gender and its intersections with race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. This course recognizes the importance of diversity in media industries and addresses the role of new media technologies in challenging and/or reaffirming traditional constructions of gender

Course Content:

This course examines representations of race, class, gender, and sexual identity in the media. In the course, the students will be considering issues of authorship, spectatorship, audience and the ways in which various media content (film, television, print journalism, advertising) enables, facilitates, and challenges these social constructions in society. Moreover, the students will examine how gender and race affects the production of media and discuss the impact of new media and digital media and how it has transformed access and participation, moving contemporary media users from a traditional position of readers to writers and/or commentators. Students will analyze gendered language and embodiment as it is produced online in blogs and vlogs, avatars, and in the construction of cyberidentities. The course provides an introduction to feminist approaches to media studies by drawing from work in feminist film theory, journalism, cultural studies, gender and politics, and cyberfeminism.
