Description

This course is designed to provide students a broad overview of various social scientific approaches to understanding the evolving role of media in modern society. The seminar’s two main goals are first to introduce students to some of the major theoretical approaches to media uses and effects, and second, to offer new researchers a forum to develop and exercise basic skills in reading, understanding, and writing theoretical and empirical social scientific work. This course is intended to provide a solid foundation for subsequent coursework in the social sciences.
