Students analyze various media representations of human experience and critically read visual images, narratives, and texts, using critical feminist theoretical and interdisciplinary frameworks to explore the intersections of gender with race, class, sexuality, religion, and nationality, among other identities. This course satisfies WMU Essential Studies Level 1: Foundations - Inquiry and Engagement Category.
