Women and the Media -- Media
384 / WGS 384
course blog
This course explores the representation of women across television, film, magazines and advertising, looking at how media creates and challenges stereotypes, and creates ideas of difference, including exclusionary representations of minority and queer women. In addition to lecture, show screenings, and discussions, this course will introduce a survey of theoretical texts which will form the foundation for critical analysis of women in the media, not only through representation, but as active producers and consumers of media.
Web Programming -- Medp 341
This course explores the concepts and principles behind dynamic content on the web. It is a hands-on introduction to server-side web programming, using PHP and mySQL; through which students will learn the framework for storing, managing and retrieving data. Throughout the class we will focus on creating cohesive websites and applications with effective information architecture, user interface design and
useability. The goal is to enable students to create work related to their long-term goals and interests. Along with weekly instruction in class, students will leave with a larger understanding to research, test and develop new ideas.
