Theories of Media, Society, & Culture*

46-3535

This course will explore the major theories of mass communication, society and culture that have led up to and departed from Cultural Studies. We will examine a variety of theories from communication and media studies that help us to better understand the role media play in society and culture and different ideas about that role. Theories studied will include early propaganda and administrative research, McLuhan and media ecology, as well as Critical Theory, Apparatus theory, political economy, and Cultural Studies.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
