CRITICAL MEDIA LAB

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

In the Critical Media Lab, students advance the critical study of media and politics as part of research teams under the direction of a rotating roster of instructors of record. Students and the instructor work together to research a media problem and to produce and disseminate new scholarship, for instance in the form of articles, podcasts, or video. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the empirical study of how representations of climate change affect audience perceptions and how media genres adapt to new constellations of activist discourse. *Students wish to repeat the class for credit should do so with a different instructor and on a different topic.* Repeatable for Credit.
