 Children and adolescents spend much of their free time consuming media. This is not surprising given the explosion in digital media platforms, increased access to personal devices, and around-the-clock content streams. In the main seminar in this FIG, Journalism and Mass Communication 176: Children and Media, we will explore how children and adolescents interact with media, considering the potential for both positive and negative impacts on their lives. We will examine a wide range of traditional (e.g., television, movies) and digital media platforms (e.g., social media, cell phones, digital games). We will cover topics such as:
We will take a developmental approach to these topics, exploring the differences in how young children, older children, and adolescents use, interpret, and respond to media. The other courses in the FIG will add to our exploration of these issues. Educational Policy Studies 210: Youth, Education, and Society — Explores the study of youth through theoretical, historical, social, and cultural perspectives with a focus on Minoritized Youth; interrogates the concept of “youth” as a socially constructed category; examines how youth have been positioned within educational, political, economic, and social contexts; analyzes how youth’s racialized experiences intersect with other social identities: social class, gender, and sexuality. Themes explored: conceptions of youth as a social category, education and schooling, race, gender, sexuality, politics and activism, community-based learning, criminal justice, media, and popular culture. Uses historical and contemporary texts and current events to study the lived experiences of young people within diverse racial, cultural, gendered, sexualized and classed contexts.
