This course offers an introduction to the major topics, debates and issues in contemporary Feminist Media Studies – from digital coding and algorithms to film, television, music and social networks – as they interact with changing experiences, expressions and possibilities for gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity and economic power in their social and cultural contexts. We will explore questions such as: how do we study and understand representations of gender, race and sexuality in various media? Can algorithms reproduce or interrupt racism and sexism? What roles can media play in challenging racial, gendered, sexual and economic violence? How can media technologies normalize or transform relations of oppression and exploitation in specific social and cultural contexts?
