MCC321: Children and the Media (Not available in 2010)

What is the meaning of childhood in the contemporary world? How can we begin to answer that question in relation to the media: television, film, animation, radio, advertising, books, and the Internet? This unit provides a conceptual basis from which to approach the cultures of childhood, and the ways in which they connect to the technologies of everyday life. Students will be encouraged to develop their own projects, supported by lectures, tutorial-workshops, and structured field work on and off campus.
