(ME)dia is a media literacy course that teaches active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive daily from the media. The course explores the topics of violence, gender, sexuality, racism, and stereotyping by examining all forms of media. From print magazines like People and US Weekly, to film and television like The Daily Show and The Simpsons, we will expand the concept of literacy to develop into informed, reflective, and engaged consumers of media. Students will critique forms of mass media to support and draw conclusions about how media impacts our daily lives and decisions.
