Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği
| Course Objectives: | Discrimination is one of the main and deepest problems of today’s media as it is also a main problem for all societies. On the other hand, diversity is one of the most popular concepts in media. Focusing on media’s role on creating and distributing stereotypes and cultural images, this course aims to inform students about major theories on media, diversity and discrimination issues, to develop a critical perspective on media coverage and to be an occasion for students to deeply discuss about current media content. |
| Course Content: | This course will first provide students main theories about concepts of diversity, identity, differences and respect in a social manner. Students will be introduced about current global debates on the relationship between media and diversity and will be stimulated to put on their ideas in the class about same debates. Then the course will be directed towards the issue of discrimination. Students will be introduced the concept and will be motivated to discuss the concept through many examples from the media. In almost all weeks, a fiction or documentary film will be shown about that week’s subject for seeing the subject from different perspectives as well as for analyzing the film from a diversity and discrimination point of view. Students will also finish a semester project the medium of which will be chosen by themselves about diversity and/or discrimination in real life. This can be a TV, radio, internet or newspaper/magazine report. |
