高中生的媒体素养，大众文化和民主计划

媒体每天都在教我们一些东西。媒体教育促使我们开始理解这些课程。这项针对高中生的热门暑期课程围绕三个主题探讨了青年，学校教育和大众文化相交的媒体素养和流行文化：（1）媒体素养和大众文化的文化研究方法；（2）身份的媒体表现形式；以及（3）青年对媒体的看法及其在媒体中的代表。通过阅读，课堂讨论，课堂辩论，电影（视频）放映，演讲嘉宾，学生可以提高他们在文化研究中的分析能力。个人和团体项目将提供框架，以吸引特定主题（广告，嘻哈文化，滑板文化等），文字和文化形式。
Media is teaching us something every day. Media education motivates us to begin understanding what those lessons are. This popular summer program for high school students examines media literacy and popular culture around three themes where youth, schooling, and popular culture intersect: (1) the cultural studies approach to media literacy and popular culture, (2) media representations of identity, and (3) youth's perspectives on the media and their representation in them. Students develop their analytical skills in cultural studies through readings, class discussions, class debates, film (video) screenings, guest speakers. Individual and group projects will provide the framework for engaging specific topics (advertising, hip-hop culture, skater culture, etc.), texts and cultural forms.
