Special Topics Title: Multimedia Communication - This class is designed to teach students a basic suite of multimedia production skills to be used for communicating ideas, research, and other forms of student scholarship. Like a class in Public Speaking, which aims to help students develop a skill set and is informed by the study of rhetoric, students in this course will learn multimedia production with the ultimate aim of having students apply those skills towards engaging in forms of multimedia-enhanced discourse. Towards this end, students will learn: basic principles of videography & photography, video editing, photo editing, audio production, desktop publishing, elements of presentation design, data visualization, web publishing, and more. After learning basic skills, students will choose one form of multimedia communication to focus on, culminating in the production of a capstone project. The goal of the capstone project is for students to use multimedia to communicate a piece of their own scholarship, research, or other scholarly endeavor in a creative way. This could be a video essay, a mini-documentary, a podcast, a multimedia-enhanced research publication, an animated ‘explainer video’, a narrated photo essay, or a range of other potential projects. This class does not require (or expect) any prior experience with media production. Students should be willing and eager to learn, as the class will cover a lot of ground quickly in establishing the basics of production. Students who have experience with digital video, photography, video editing, or any kind of multimedia production are strongly encouraged to enroll; the class has a flexible structure to enable those students with already developed skills to work on advancing their knowledge towards mastery.

Special Topics Title: Critical Studies of Misinformation - This course examines misinformation and disinformation. We will consider how we define these concepts as well as how the identification of “truth” relates to broader struggles around the social construction of knowledge. Our review of these concepts will be informed by history, culture, and politics, and we will pay particular attention to the ways social categories – including race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity – shape the dynamics of dis/misinformation. We will explore the role print, broadcast, and digital media play in the creation and spread of mis/disinformation and the corresponding implications for democratic society. Finally, we will explore specific examples of mis/disinformation and consider strategies for combating this complex and evolving social issue.

Special Topics Title: East Asian Pop Culture & Media - From K-pop to Pokémon, from TV drama to video games, this course introduces you to the media and popular cultural scene in one of the most dynamic regions of the world economy today. It gives you the theoretical tool to understand and analyze these media and cultural phenomena. While acknowledging some common defining characteristics of East Asian societies, we will pay attention to the internal diversities, differences and transcultural flows within the region as well as East Asian nations’ connections to the world. The class is divided into three big sections with each focusing one East Asian region: Greater China, Japan, and Korea (South and North). In each section, we will start with a brief introduction to the modern history of the region. Then we will examine case studies selected from the region’s media and pop culture realm. Some of the topics include cyber culture and video games in China; night market and food culture Taiwan; Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement; Japan’s anime culture and cat café; Korean popular music and its global fans; and everyday life in North Korea depicted in comic book. By the end of the semester, you should be able to have a basic understanding of East Asian societies and cultures, critically analyze cultural trends and media events using the theories learnt in this class,  and be able to engage in productive conversations with people from these societies.

Special Topics Title: Storytelling in Interaction - This course takes storytelling as a site for examining major topics in the field of Language and Social Interaction. We ask: What do people use stories for in interaction? What communicative resources—e.g., language, the body, and context––do people make use of when they tell stories? What is the relationship between the stories we tell and our identities? What is the role of stories in meaning-making and understanding the world around us? And, how can we use stories to affect our relationships in positive ways? As a 500-level analytic class, our focus will be on learning the practical skills, modes of inquiry, and intellectual orientations necessary for the analysis of social interaction.

Contemplative Media Studies involves the application of contemplative practices and principles to the critical analysis of media content, technology, and institutions. It links Media Studies to Contemplative Studies, which integrates empirical social-science research (neuroscience, psychology) to first-person practices like meditation, yoga, and art therapy. Through academic essays and arts-based assignments, students strive to become more mindful digital citizens-creative yet critical, hopeful yet judicious with regard to the current and future course of technical development.
