Sociology - SOC

Explores the importance and impact of popular culture in our everyday lives. Our daily lives are saturated with popular culture, making it an important area of study. Popular culture both reinforces and challenges existing power structures and inequalities. We will look at the social dimensions of cultural production, consumption, regulation, and representation. We will also focus on a wide range of topics such as critical theory, culture industries, status and privilege, controlling images, the body, censorship, gender, and globalization. We will discuss what popular culture tells us about ourselves, our history, and our society.
