Course Summary
This course is only available to Honours students enrolled in BH066 Bachelor of Media and Communication (Honours).
This course provides a critical survey of key concepts in media and communication research. The course supports Honours students to locate their work within the horizons of their discipline and to develop a working knowledge of conceptual frameworks used by media and communication scholars.
Close reading is an integral element of this course. We will read two types of texts: (a) foundational texts that have shaped the past and present of media and communication research, and (b) recent interventions that propose innovative pathways for future scholarship. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the discipline as a dynamic space of intellectual engagement and contestation.
If you are enrolled in this course as a component of your Bachelor Honours Program, your overall mark will contribute to the calculation of the weighted average mark (WAM).
