STSO 4320 - Environmental Media & Data
In this course, students will explore how a very wide variety of data and media relate to our ever-evolving environment. We will build critical media literacy through encounters with media as both consumers and producers, learning along the way about how media literacy relates to other forms of literacy: ecological, political, scientific, historical, epistemological, etc.
Simultaneously, we will question what “the environment” means, critique the limits of “sustainability” discourse, examine our assumptions around “the media,” question notions of “data” (big, little, quantitative, qualitative), etc. We will situate all of these terms in broader contexts and examine their histories, connotations, and connections.
Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: STSO 2300 : Environment and Society or STSO 2210 : Design, Culture, and Society, or permission of the instructor
