GEND-3106: Race and Gender in Popular Culture

We invite community members to join our Community Engagement Courses. As you immerse yourself in the course content of your choosing, you will have the opportunity to connect with both the course instructor and Nipissing students. There is no requirement to submit coursework, nor will you receive a grade for participating in the course. Students examine how race and gender are represented in popular culture with a specific focus on how racism and sexism are depicted in contemporary film and television. Reading and analyzing post-race, post-feminist and post-closet discourses as they appear in popular culture and critical media studies, students evaluate how each approach frames contemporary social inequality and social justice.
