Institution:

Rowan University

Subject:

Description:

This course analyzes historic and multi-cultural constructions of the female detective/action figure in literature, motion pictures, and video games. Students will confront a variety of texts in order to increase their awareness of how cultural assumptions come into play and often unconsciously influence their reading and viewing of texts. The course will culminate in the development and implementation of a cooperatively devised critical thinking rubric, which allows students to more critically analyze textual and visual media.
