Fall 2021: Media and Political Socialization
This is a student led course that relies on seminar discussions. This course uses mass media to explore common misconceptions and misinformation that is often absorbed by the general public. Additionally, we will examine how these misconceptions and falsehoods can shape political socialization and behaviors. The course will investigate political trust and why it is important in a democratic society. Students will have the opportunity to expand their media literacy and explore the various perspectives dominating current events. This course is designed to improve critical thinking, expand scholarly research skills, and encourage political and social discourse.
