How to look at our society through the lense of ethnicity and culture

In today’s increasingly globalized world, issues surrounding migration, nationalism, “race” and ethnicity are becoming more and more salient. The media, on the other hand, have a significant influence on who we think we are and how we perceive social groups. This course aims to get students prepared to identify and academically analyze these issues and their relationship with the media (both journalism and culture).
