# Critical Television

## COMM-2750

This course engages students in a critical examination of television and its historical and present status as a dominant popular culture medium. Television in this context is broadly understood as an evolving medium for motion pictures in the age of technological convergence. Using a variety of analytical and theoretical approaches, we’ll consider the significant influence television has on individual, social, and cultural experiences—addressing questions of representation, identity, economics, and ideology. The class uses a collaborative learning process, allowing students to influence the content and emphasis of the class and there by reflecting the democratic nature of popular culture media.
