- SOC-3215Popular Culture
Description
This course examines how diverse constructions of girls and women are represented and presented in media and popular culture. Using intersectional feminist, queer, trans, anti-colonial, critical race, cultural, and/or girlhood studies theories, we consider how social, economic, cultural, and political conditions influence representation. We focus on North American experiences, including diasporas, examining gender, race, class, age, sexuality, ethnicity, Indigeneity, nationality, ability, and/or other sociocultural locations. Areas considered may include embodiments, justice, wonder, sites of resistance, subversive or oppositional readings, and the power of narrative.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
