This short course examines the innovative ways that we can engage students in social and cultural awareness and civic action through the analysis and creation of media. With concerns such as slacktivism and hashtag activism for popularity, it considers how students can use media to address social issues. This course considers the opportunities of incorporating media to address larger pedagogical goals including media literacy, active learning, and critical thinking skills.
