Environmental Media & Data

STSO-4320

In this course, students will explore how a very wide variety of data and media relate to our ever-evolving environment. We will build critical media literacy through encounters with media as both consumers and producers, learning along the way about how media literacy relates to other forms of literacy: ecological, political, scientific, historical, epistemological, etc. Simultaneously, we will question what "the environment" means, critique the limits of "sustainability" discourse, examine our assumptions around "the media," question notions of "data" (big, little, quantitative, qualitative), etc. We will situate all of these terms in broader contexts and examine their histories, connotations, and connections.
