This course offers a critical examination of the messages and “knowledge” that popular culture employs, disseminates and constructs about men and women, masculinity and femininity.  We will take our objects of study from a wide range of sources including advertisements, magazines, television, film, cyberspace, hip hop, and sports.  Be ready to watch TV, go to the movies, and listen to music as a scholar of gender!
