Media Portrayals of African Americans

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss and analyze depictions of African
Americans in mainstream media. It will begin with a look into the inner workings of the media industry and move into an understanding of how and why African Americans are depicted in the ways that they are. Specifically, in each workshop we will focus upon different mediums and selective depictions. Analysis and discussions will focus upon the continuity of representations and their utility across media.

Meetings will be held from February 7th through March 13th on Thursday afternoons from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm. All sessions will take place in the BCC classroom.
