Are you interested in learning about cultures, difference, and reaching across divides? At a time when cultural difference becomes a source of anxiety, it is critical to learn the importance of cultural awareness in understanding each other. In this class, we will explore media from new lenses by examining books, social media, films, and short stories to grow our knowledge about other cultures and build an understanding based on mutual respect. Some of the issues we will explore include culture, identity, imperialism, power, race, sexuality, and gender. This class will grow your ability to think critically about large themes that shape who we are!
