About the course

The Media History & Culture specialization focuses on critical and historical approaches to understanding modern media as technological, institutional, and cultural forces. In particular, our expertise lies in race and media, media institutions, media reception, audiences and fandoms, infrastructure, media history, media theory, and transnational media.

　　This area of specialization focuses on the interplay of institutions, texts, and audiences in mediated communication systems. Its central aim is to examine modern media—radio, television, advertising, music, new media, and a wide range of other popular cultural expressions—within their historical, social, political, economic, and cultural contexts. It also uses the mass media as a site for asking basic questions about culture, society, politics, and modernity. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
