MEDS 310 - Senior Seminar

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

A course on methods and tactics for all senior Media Studies majors, providing a capstone experience for the cohort. This course is taught in the fall semester each year. The capstone seminar for Media Studies aims to consolidate our majors’ core coursework in theory and praxis with an eye to giving them useful tools for the critical making of their senior projects. Through readings and structured dialogue, we revisit frameworks introduced throughout our Media Studies courses such as “old and new” media, media specificity and postmedia, scale, reproducibility, the interface, virtuality, embodiment, surveillance capitalism, and the possibilities for decolonizing media. Giovanna Borradori.

Prerequisite(s): MEDS 250 or MEDS 260.
