COM 340 Media and Identity

Drawing on Critical Media, Ethnic, and Cultural Studies scholarship, this course examines the political, historical, and contemporary relationship between media and identity. Students will interrogate the concepts of race, ethnicity, and nationhood and consider how these categories of identification have been constructed, contested, represented, and received in/through media at different times.
