EDUC 5306G - Youth Media and Popular Culture


This course is positioned at the intersection of education, popular culture, and youth/young adult experiences. The course explores questions concerning the social construction of youth, knowledge and power in communities, schools and in the media, representations of social identities, and use of digital media within social spaces. Students will critically analyze popular media (e.g, films, video games, music, and social media) and create pop culture artifacts using diverse digital tools. Students will also explore the complex relationships between identity, performance, representation, consumption, power, authority, and culture, with the goal of examining how educators can incorporate popular culture and media in ways that contribute to learning.
