Topic: Vandals in the Academy The course examines the Black and Latino student movements' campaign to transform the university, the latter?s response to racially-based student militancy, and the legacy of that period. During the 1960s and 1970s the university became a site of intense contestation between two opposing set of ideas: the institutions? self-perception as an autonomous site of value-neutral knowledge production and the activists' portrayal of it as a privileged institution which sanctioned biased research that helped sustain a racially unjust order. How were the tensions between a racialized community and the university portrayed in the media and scholarly literature? These representations continue to inform contemporary debates on the university?s relationship to a society experiencing demographic flux and economic dislocation.

Topic: Introduction to Race and Ethnicity in Communication Scholarship: This seminar is an introduction to communication scholarship in the areas of racial and ethnic difference as the concepts intersect with issues of sexuality, gender and class. A diversity of theoretical frameworks (ranging from post-colonial to structural-functionalist) and methodological approaches (ranging from political economy to visual cultural) will be used to situate the study of race and ethnicity within the disciplinary field of communication.
