This course introduces the student to
sociological and interdisciplinary approaches to culture, gender, and media. Each
of the three fields is first introduced in light of critical sociological
accounts, and then intersections of the three are considered in light of both empirical
examples and scholarly studies. Through various current and historical
examples, the student learns to think of different cultural phenomena
critically, understands the complexity and multiplicity of genders and
sexualities, and is able to reflect upon the significance of different media
for cultural and gender presentations and representations.

This is a 1st year undergraduate course, in Global Humanities programme. The course is open for all, including exchange students.
