Description:

MEDIA AND MULTICULTURALISM (MEDIATED OR INTERCULTURAL TRACK)~ In a world pervaded by communication technologies, many of our perceptins about current affairs, others, and social realities are based on the types of information provided to us by the media. One result of this situation is that we witness the rise of different trends in and out of group consciousness. For the first time in the history of humankind, groups and individuals began to see themselves from outside as well as from inside. This course will initiate a critical exploration of representations and misrepresentations in the media of African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, women, gays and lesbians, and other traditionally under-represented groups, and prepare students to critically evaluate information they receive from the media about these groups.
