In Critical Media Studies, students explore how gender, race, sexuality, class, citizenship, and other social, cultural, and political markers are constructed in media, including counter-hegemonic media texts. They also examine the ways audiences resist and reproduce dominant media narratives. For the final project, students critique existing print and audiovisual media then create new media addressing the problems they’ve identified. The projects below represent a select sample of the strongest submissions.
