We all consume popular media, yet we can often overlook how they depict a biased view of social reality. This course will introduce students to how popular media portray particular social groups. The course will familiarize students with these issues while providing the analytical tools to critically interpret media representations. We will investigate how television, films, music videos, and magazines depict and recreate stereotypes based on socioeconomic class, race, and gender. We will discuss why the media sells these kinds of representations, the effect these representations have on us, the role of the media in reinforcing inequality, and how the media can be used for positive social change. The course is designed for young learners with little to no experience in sociology or media studies.
