Race & the Media
Course Number:
MCO1036
Course Description:
This module applies a multidisciplinary perspective to the topic of race and the media. The objective is to engage with theoretical, conceptual and sociopolitical debates and scholarship in the area. Emphasis will be on contextualising such literature through the examination and discussion of contemporary realities and events. Specifically, the module will focus on understanding how race and ethnicity are ‘mediated’ and the impacts of racialised representations on audiences. We explore the role played by the media in contemporary understandings of race and racism in a global context, as well as considering how minority racial identities have been empowered and disempowered as a result of the media industries. The course is interdisciplinary in nature and the lectures will draw on relevant sociological and anthropological literature in addition to communications and cultural studies approaches.
