AS 4160 - Special Topics in Media Studies

Credits: 4

Offers an in-depth exploration of a special topic in media studies, in an area defined by the instructor. Topics might include political campaigns and the media; the first amendment; public and private spheres in the digital age; “branding”; or a specific musical or film genre (such as a course in Rock and Roll, the Blues, or the Hollywood Musical). The course allows for a deeper theoretical, historical, institutional and/or political analysis of media and its power in American life. Students can take more than once as an Independent Study.
