INQ-110 | Race & Media

Full Title: Race & Media: What do we see?

Topic Description:

Through our readings, discussion, and written assignments we will consider how television, film, and newspapers represent different racial and ethnic groups. Looking specifically at representations of African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and Native Americans, we will ask: What images are being presented? How do they compare to reality? Does it matter what we see? Who we see? Readings will include cultural studies and social science analyses as well as consideration of quantitative and qualitative research methods
