Course description
Media representations are the manners in which the media portrays groups, classes, occupations, historical events and more. Our core assumption is that the media not only reflects but also constructs our ideas and perceptions toward reality. One of our main focuses will be shifts in the representations of gender over time and context. The course will enable students to think critically, to analyze media massages and to evaluate their potential effect.
