This course examines the contributions and representations of African Americans, Asian Pacific Islander Americans, Latinas/os/xs, Native Americans, and other "racialized" populations in film and popular culture and surveys the cultural, economic, social, and political forces that shape their representations in media and their experiences in the United States. Ethnic Studies frameworks and methodologies are employed to analyze historical and contemporary representations of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality in U.S. film, television, advertising, news media, and other forms of popular culture. This course also incorporates popular culture and creative productions as a lens to study how contemporary articulations of race, class, gender and sexuality speak to reproductions, depictions, and challenges from media representations.
