Kitchens Since the 1980s popular culture has increasingly become a topic of critique among academics in the field of education. The images, messages, and effects of popular culture, whether in the form of advertising, fashion, or ipods, are ubiquitous. This raises important and arguably imperative considerations for educators.

Literature related to critiques of popular culture as well as varied examples and forms of popular culture will serve as the bases for class discussions. Distribution area: social sciences.
