Sisältö
The course seeks to critically examine how globalization and media mutually reinforce
transformation in human communication and society. Media is understood broadly and in a
“non-media-centric” way: we will examine current transformations in media technologies,
media culture, media genres, and media practice. Issues of social justice, such as agency and
participation will run through all aspects of media and globalization that the course examines.
