RHET 219 - Communication, Culture, and New Media


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, CD, WINT

This course provides an overview of the field of communication with attention to structural racism, the politics of knowledge, representation, ways of seeing, and political economy of new media environments. How has communication engaged with changing concepts of culture? What have these theories invisibilized or left out? Central to this investigation will be understanding how structures of power, in particular anti-black racism, continue to frame how new media environments are built, used, and accessed, as well as how new platforms open possibilities for self-representation that nuance and challenge dominant representations of race and gender.
