Credits: 4
An advanced examination of visual imagery in public communication, with emphasis on how visual images can serve as sites of struggle over cultural norms.

Assignments encourage students to consider the relationship between the visual and the verbal, the effect of practices of looking, and the relationship between visual imagery and reality, including the role of visual imagery in constituting social identities and power relationships.
