CM 330 - Stereotypes in U.S. Film and Television

(3.00 cr.)

Students use critical-cultural approaches to examine how narrative and documentary films, television shows, and music videos have constructed racial, gendered, and class images of U.S. society. They also examine how these images intersect, inform, and influence our perceptions, biases, and behaviors. Students view, discuss, write, and reflect on these issues as they consider appropriate responses to these social constructions, including ways in which the camera can be used to redefine social images and spaces to enhance respect for diversity. (Fall/Spring)
