COM115

Through readings, screenings, discussion, writing, and hands-on production, students engage the cultural, political, and historical consequences of a mediated world from the individual scale (e.g. identity formation) to the societal (e.g. politics, economics). This course explains the various ways that mediated communication shapes, and is shaped by, the people and systems who produce and consume it. Students learn to navigate the mediated landscape in active, rather than passive, ways. ARTSC, Fall and Spring semesters. Offered to first- and second-year students only.
