INDS-1132-60
Stay Sexy & Solve Stuff
For many, "true crime" has been a longtime guilty pleasure. But where did this fascination come from - and is it okay to enjoy this sort of thing? This course will attempt to make sense of our collective interest in the macabre of real life by examining the growth of the true crime genre across two centuries to the present day, with its "murderinos," true-crime conventions, and even the occasional unravelling of unsolved cases by so-called "citizen detectives." We'll also explore the way gender, race, and class frequently impact how the story is told, all with the aim of trying to understand how representations of criminality serve, in their own twisted way, to define culture.
INDS-1035-60
Tik Tok
This course examines the intersection of popular culture and contemporary media platforms, including TikTok, social media, film, and advertisements. Students will explore how various forms of digital media shape trends, identities, and social interactions while reflecting broader societal themes. Through a blend of theoretical frameworks and media analysis, we will analyze the role of user-generated content in constructing cultural narratives, the impact of algorithms on visibility and virality, and the implications of digital creativity across different contexts. The course encourages students to engage with various media as cultural artifacts and mediums of expression, fostering the necessary critical skills to navigate and understand the complexities of our modern culture.
PSYC-1132-60
Experiencing Trauma and Violence
Many, even most, people you come across will have lived through and may still be experiencing traumatic or violent events or living conditions. This course focuses on learning about the impact of trauma and violence on people and how to create physical, cultural, and emotional safety for everyone. Trauma and violence informed principles could be practiced on the macro level in health and social services, schools, and colleges and the micro level in interaction with our family and friends. Trauma and violence informed principles encourage a universal approach to collective care and wellness. Please be advised that the content of this course could be triggering for individuals with post traumatic stress disorder/complex trauma background.
